Though he has played just one List A match in his career to date, he was picked up in August by Perth Scorchers for this year's Big Bash League, and is one of a crop of young fast bowlers in Australia's set-up whom the selectors have been monitoring closely, alongside Callum Vidler, Charlie Anderson and Tom Straker.

Spencer Johnson was ruled out before the tour began, while Riley Meredith did not play after first T20I in Scotland, with both men sustaining side issues.

Josh Hazlewood had been a doubt for the T20I series after a late arrival in the UK following a minor calf strain, but played a major part in Australia's victory in Southampton before being rested for the second match in Cardiff.

Speaking to SEN last week, Andrew McDonald, Australia's head coach, said that his team would be closely monitoring the fitness of his "big three" bowlers - Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, ahead of a five-Test home series against India later this year.

"A lot of our priorities will be geared around that," Andrew McDonald, Australia's coach, told SEN last week. "You'll see that unfold with the management of our players. We'll be very pointed around who does what in terms of [Sheffield] Shield cricket coming into the summer to make sure that they are ready for that first Test match."
