Australia’s final leg of preparations for the World Cup begin. They have David Warner and Mitchell Marsh coming back as the side is nearly full-strength. Marcus Stoinis is still missing, allowing Cameron Green a chance to improve his credentials in the national team.

West Indies are here and will be here till the World Cup ends. They start their preparation against the hosts without Shimron Hetmyer, who is dropped from the World Cup as he missed his flight. The players though are fresh off the Caribbean Premier League, and should be able to settle into the series easily.

AUS vs WI Key Players

Cameron Green

With Marcus Stoinis out, Cameron Green has another opportunity to impress. He is not a part of the World Cup squad but has been proving why he should be in the squad ever since the team was announced. He is a very flexible cricketer, and with him likely going back to his old role, it will be interesting to see what Cameron Green offers.

Kyle Mayers

Kyle Mayers is in wonderful form after a strong showing with both bat and ball in the CPL. He is a part of a young and talented West Indies team, who is coming in with a handful of fresh talents. With a lot of competition around him, Kyle Mayers will hope to cement his position at the top.
