• Captain Aaron Finch said Saturday that Australia intend to test.
• another design that gives more noteworthy batting profundity.
• Opening ODI against Zimbabwe, with Marnus Labuschagne dropped.

Australia play three one-dayers against Zimbabwe in the northern Queensland city of Townsville from Sunday.

Trailed by three against New Zealand in Cairns beginning September 6.

Finch affirmed a practically original capacity side, with the hosts inviting back various players missing from their last match in Sri Lanka in June.

That incorporates spinner Adam Zampa, who missed the visit because of the introduction of his most memorable kid.

However, Test robust Marnus Labuschagne was precluded from the principal game as Australia shake up the batting line-up.

Finch told  that Alex Carey would be raised to number four, with Steve Smith filling Labuschagne’s number three position and Mitch Marsh sliding from three to six.

“The reasoning behind Marnus (missing out) is we´re just going with an all-rounder-heavy side,” he said.

“Two quicks plus Zampa and Cameron Green as the fourth genuine bowler. And then using Marsh, (Marcus) Stoinis, (Glen) Maxwell as our fifth bowler effectively.

“It’s a way of lengthening our batting, and I think it’s important we keep trying to juggle the structure of the team around a bit over the next little while.

“We don’t want to get pigeonholed into playing in one particular structure of the team.”

Test captain Pat Cummins will miss the series and the ensuing one against New Zealand as he rests in front of the Twenty20 World Cup and a bustling home summer.

Zimbabwe have not confronted Australia in that frame of mind over design beginning around 2014 and are feeling the loss of a few central participants including harmed skipper Craig Ervine, opening bowler Tendai Chatara and spinner Wellington Masakadza.
