Australia's ICC World Cup 2023 winning squad's six players will be rested for the remaining three T20I clashes against the 'Men in Blue' to manage their workload. Players including Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoins, Josh Inglis and Sean Abbott will return to Australia. Aussies' unorthodox batsman Steve Smith along with their mighty spinner Adam Zampa have already travelled to Australia after featuring in the first two T20Is.

The ICC World Cup 2023 final match centurion Travis Head will stay with the Australian side for the remainder of the T20I series against India. The left-hander missed the starting matches of the ICC World Cup 2023 due to injury but later played an important role in guiding his team to victories.
