Australia National Cricket Team

Nathan Ellis to miss three-match series on paternity leave

The Australia Test captain will now be managed in the lead-up to the home Ashes series in November

The decision comes less than six months out from the next T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka

From their highest ODI total at home to record partnerships, rapid centuries and a historic five-for

Australia posted a mammoth 431 before Cooper Connolly's 5/22 kept South Africa to 155

Conrad's approach seems to be working for Matthew Breetzke, but others are not in such prolific form

Even as South Africa might have an edge ahead of the second one-dayer, for a number of the players in the Australian team, these are chances to make an impression that can't go to waste

The Australian all-rounder is hopeful that the pitches for the Ashes won't be as testing for the batters as it was in the series against West Indies

The young opener will now be playing for Thunder at least until the 2029 edition of the tournament

After slipping up in the T20Is, South Africa will hope to get one back on the 50-over World Champions
