Marsh returns, Australia name Nikhil Chaudhary & Joel Davies two debutants for T20 series opener

Chattogram, June 17 (UNI) Nikhil Chaudhary and Joel Davies will make their international debuts in Australia's T20 series opener against Bangladesh, with captain Mitch Marsh also making his return to the national side.
Marsh lost the toss and Bangladesh opted to bat first here on Wednesday, the first of three T20 matches in the southeastern port city, with the tourists seeking to rebound from their 1-2 ODI series loss to Bangladesh last week.
Australia's men's T20 captain returns from an ankle injury suffered at the back end of the Indian Premier League season last month, confirming he will open the batting with Josh Inglis, who stood in as skipper during consecutive ODI series losses, with the 50-over side also going down 1-2 to Pakistan earlier this month.
