The Story: Eight Games, Eight Cities
England head to Australia straight after the tri-series in Pakistan, where they missed the final. This tour is a white-ball series only, and both sides are using it to build towards next year's ODI World Cup.
For readers new to cricket:
- In an ODI, each team bats for up to 50 overs, and games last most of a day.
- In a T20I, each team bats for up to 20 overs, and games last about three and a half hours.
- An over is six legal deliveries.
All three ODIs are day-night games. They start in the afternoon and finish under lights.
Storylines to Watch
Australia without their big three quicks. Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood are all rested for both series. That opens the door for younger players, including Mahli Beardman, Jack Edwards, Ollie Peake and Liam Scott in the ODI squad.
England's fast bowlers return, but only for the ODIs. Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker and Josh Tongue are in the ODI squad. They are not in the T20I squad, as England manage their workloads ahead of the Test tour of South Africa.
Bethell and Salt are back. Jacob Bethell returns from the knee injury that kept him out since July. Phil Salt returns to the T20I squad after a quad injury.
An 18-year-old in the T20I squad. Wicketkeeper-batter Thomas Rew, who captained England at the Under-19 World Cup in February, earns his first senior call-up. Seamer Eddie Jack is the other new face.

Australia uses several time zones. Perth is on AWST (UTC+8), Adelaide on ACDT (UTC+10:30), Queensland on AEST (UTC+10, no daylight saving), and Melbourne, Hobart, Sydney and Canberra on AEDT (UTC+11). That is why local start times differ even though every game in each series starts at the same moment worldwide. ET is US Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5).
