Australia review early starts for ODI title defence
Australia weigh day games for 2027 ODI plans while Darcie Brown seeks a recall through Australia A and Harleen Deol joins Barbados Tridents in the WCPL.
Cricket Australia is examining whether day games can form part of its ODI World Cup 2027 preparations. The side dominated under lights at the 2023 tournament but now faces a different strategic outlook for its title defence.
Darcie Brown hopes an Australia A tour to the subcontinent will help her regain form after missing World Cup selection. The fast bowler was dropped from the senior squad and sees the A tour as a chance to push for a recall.
Harleen Deol joined Barbados Tridents for the remainder of the 2026 Women's Caribbean Premier League. The India batter signed a short-term deal after India's 2025 ODI World Cup victory, becoming the fifth Indian to feature in this year's tournament.
