“Cameron made his ODI debut last summer against India and the NSP (national selection panel) believes he has tremendous potential in the white- and red-ball formats, while Ashton has performed well across his 17 ODI and T20I matches for Australia dating back to 2017,” added Hohns.
McDermott and Christian are currently playing for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire respectively and will return to Australia from the UK this week to complete the mandatory two-week quarantine period before the final squad’s scheduled departure for the Caribbean in late June. Australia play five T20 Internationals (in St Lucia) and three ODIs (Barbados) from July 9 to July 24.
