Australia have selected the uncapped Oliver Peake, Liam Scott, and Joel Davies for the limited-overs tours of Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Australia picked three uncapped players
In May 2026, Australia will travel to Pakistan to play ODIs. From there, they will visit Bangladesh for both ODIs and T20Is.
Australia have rested Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins from all three series. There was no place for Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, and Steve Smith – all of whom have retired from ODIs – for the T20I series.
Instead, they have selected Peake for the ODIs in Pakistan, Scott for both ODI series, and Davies for the T20Is in Bangladesh. None of them has played international cricket.
Oliver Peake
Peake comes from a cricketing family. His father Clinton, the only batter with a triple hundred in Youth Tests, played domestic cricket for Victoria between 1995/96 and 2000/01. Clinton is still active in Grade Cricket, as is Oliver’s brother Charlie.
Only 18 when he debuted in all three professional formats and even for Australia A, the highly regarded Peake has had two seasons with the Melbourne Renegades. He captained Australia at the 2026 U19 World Cup, where he made consecutive hundreds, including one in a valiant cause in the semi-final. He finished with 234 runs at 78 and a strike rate of 96. He also bowls some off-spin.
Liam Scott
Seam-bowling all-rounders are rare, and Scott has fit the bill during his stints with South Australia and the Adelaide Strikers. Now 25, he has taken 79 wickets in 39 first-class games at 28.32, while also scoring 1,650 runs at 27.96. With 547 runs at 39 and 28 wickets at 23, he was one of the stars of South Australia’s Sheffield Shield triumph in 2025/26.
Scott has bowled less in List A (5.4 overs a game) and T20 (two overs), but is likely to be very effective in his dual role.
Joel Davies
The younger brother of Oliver of New South Wales and Sydney Thunder, Joel Davies was key to the Sydney Sixers’ run to the 2025/26 BBL final. A left-arm spinner, he picked up 14 wickets in the season at 13.35 while going at only 6.23 an over, and supplemented that by scoring at 159.
That made him the first to score a hundred runs at over 150 and take 10 wickets at under seven in a single edition of the BBL.
