The six players of the current Australia 'A' squad, who have been selected in the senior national ODI team for the limited overs matches in England and Ireland, will play in the final of the ongoing tri-series cricket tournament slated to be held here on August 14.
Opener Joe Burns, wicketkeeper Matthew Wade, spinner Aston Agar, all-rounder Marcus Stoinis and pace duo of James Pattinson and Nathan Coulter-Nile have been picked in the senior team for the ODI series against England and Ireland starting later this month by virtue of their fine performances in the ongoing Australia 'A' team's tour of India.
Australia's limited overs series starts with a one-off ODI against Ireland in Belfast on August 27 followed by a lone Twenty20 International and five ODIs against England.
According Australia 'A' team officials, it has not been decided as yet whether the six players would leave Chennai directly for England or return to their respective homes in Australia before joining the senior team in England.
