"Australia's captain Steven Smith has warned Glenn Maxwell to improve his training habits or face the possibility of missing out on plans for the World Cup defence in 2019, after he was dropped from the ODI squad to face England in five matches following the Ashes."

Australia squad
Steve Smith (capt), David Warner, Pat Cummins, Aaron Finch, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Chris Lynn, Mitchell Marsh, Tim Paine, Jhye Richardson, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa

England one-day squad

My side from that squad would be

Hales
Roy
Root
Morgan
Stokes
Buttler
Billings
Willey
Plunkett
Rashid
Ball


But i think they will go

Roy
Bairstow
Root
Morgan
Billings
Buttler
Moeen
Willey
Rashid
Plunkett
Curran

I don't think Willey will play. They've been leaving him out.

No Woakes? Injury I suppose.

My team, assuming Stokes isn't going to play for reasons other than merit. In which case, he shouldn't be there.

That bowling attack could go for 400.

Not convinced anyone else in the squad would improve it, but it'd be good to get a fifth bowler. Or Woakes.

I think any permutation of an England bowling attack is likely to go for 400.

"Glenn Maxwell will soon find out how far he has slipped off the ODI radar of Australia's selectors after Chris Lynn was ruled out of the series against England due to a calf strain suffered in the Big Bash League."

England T20 Squad
Eoin Morgan (capt), Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Dawid Malan, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, James Vince, David Willey, Mark Wood

Sixteen players?

Woakes isn't there, he's injured, probably just as well in white ball cricket on these pitches!!! Mark Wood will hopefully make a difference, bit of extra pace and Plunkett!

Chris Lynn won't play in ODI due to calf injury.

Replaced by Cameron White. Which makes you wonder what Maxwell has done to not get picked.

Looks like the second Joe Root is actually Woakes. Which means seven pace bowlers in the squad.

Woakes in for Willey.
