Ben Dwarshuis Returns to Australia’s T20I Squad for India Series

Australian left-arm pacer Ben Dwarshuis has been named in the national squad for the upcoming five-match T20 International series against India, scheduled to commence on October 29, 2025. Dwarshuis is set to rejoin the team for the fourth and fifth matches of the series.

Injury and Recovery

Dwarshuis had been sidelined due to a left calf injury sustained during the One Day International series against India in October 2025. This injury led to his absence from the second ODI held in Adelaide on October 21, 2025. His recovery has been closely monitored, and his inclusion in the latter part of the T20I series indicates a successful rehabilitation process.

Recent Performances

Prior to his injury, Dwarshuis showcased commendable performances. Notably, during the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy semi-final against India on March 4, 2025, he dismissed Indian opener Shubman Gill for 8 runs, contributing to Australia’s victory. Additionally, in the Big Bash League 2024-25 season, he delivered a remarkable 108-meter six off Will Sutherland at the Sydney Cricket Ground on December 16, 2024, underscoring his all-round capabilities.

Team Dynamics

Alongside Dwarshuis, all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is also making a return to the squad, set to participate in the final three games of the series. The Australian team management has made strategic adjustments, with several players returning to domestic duties and new faces earning call-ups. These changes aim to bolster the team’s performance against a formidable Indian side.

The T20I series against India is anticipated to be a competitive encounter, with both teams fielding strong line-ups. Dwarshuis’ return is expected to enhance Australia’s bowling attack, providing depth and experience as they face the Indian team.
