Mahli Beardman, a rising star from the Perth Scorchers, will make his international debut for Australia in a T20 match against Pakistan on Thursday. The 20-year-old fast bowler recently helped the Scorchers win their sixth Big Bash League title and has been included in the squad for a three-match series ahead of the T20 World Cup. Beardman joins fellow debutants Jack Edwards and Matthew Renshaw in the lineup, with the first match providing an opportunity for players to showcase their skills. Australia aims to build momentum before facing Ireland in the World Cup opener on February 11.
