Three Australians will make their international debut in the first T20I against South Africa on August 30. Cricket Australia confirmed that uncapped players Matt Short, Aaron Hardie and Spencer Johnson had been picked for the series opener at Kingsmead,

The team will be led by Mitchell Marsh as Australia are without multiple key players for their white-ball tour of South Africa. David Warner, Cameron Green and Josh Hazlewood have been rested for the T20I leg of the tour but will be a part of the ODI series.

Australia's playing XI for the first T20I against South Africa: 

Matt Short, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh (capt), Josh Inglis, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Aaron Hardie, Sean Abbott, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson.
