Medium-pacer Daniel Worrall will make his international one-day debut for Australia on Tuesday in the one-off clash with Ireland in South Africa.
The swing bowler with a distinctive angled run-up stood out for South Australia during last season’s Sheffield Shield when he was the competition’s second leading wicket-taker with 44 at 26.18.
Australia’s captain Steve Smith confirmed on Monday that 25-year-old Worrall will take his place in the XI for the match at Benoni, which precedes a five-match ODI series against South Africa starting on Friday.
Worrall will share the pace-bowling duties with Scott Boland and John Hastings, who were impressive in Australia’s recent 4-1 ODI series victory in Sri Lanka.
Worrall’s Redbacks teammate Joe Mennie and Victoria’s Chris Tremain are also likely to get a shot against the Proteas with Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood remaining in Australia.
Smith returns having flown home early from Sri Lanka midway through the limited-overs series while Mitch Marsh is also back having been rested after the crushing 3-0 Test series defeat.
Australia XI to face Ireland
David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith (capt), George Bailey, Mitch Marsh, Travis Head, Matthew Wade, John Hastings, Adam Zampa, Daniel Worrall, Scott Boland.
