Australia's key fast bowlers, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc, might participate in both the upcoming T20I series against West Indies and New Zealand. Their lighter-than-expected workload during the Test summer allows flexibility for the selectors. With none of the home Tests reaching a fifth day, the trio remains unscathed, with Cummins, in particular, demonstrating impressive form.

While they were initially expected to be rested from the T20Is, their current workload management might open up opportunities for their inclusion. The selectors are set to finalize the squads on Monday. Australia's head coach, Andrew McDonald, indicated the possibility of being at full strength for the New Zealand series, emphasizing the strategic planning ahead of the T20 World Cup in June.

David Warner is confirmed to play in both series, returning from the ILT20. Tim David, also participating in the ILT20, might return to Australia if selected. Australia is yet to announce the T20I captain for the T20 World Cup, with Mitchell Marsh and Matthew Wade among the potential candidates. McDonald will not coach the ODI and T20I series against West Indies, with assistant coach Daniel Vettori taking charge, providing McDonald additional time ahead of the New Zealand T20I and Test tour.
