The Australian skipper (pictured left and right with wife Becky and son Albie) is busy preparing for an extremely busy summer that will see his team take on Pakistan and India - and once that's done, a new challenge awaits him.

The Aussie skipper is getting in some quality family time near his multi-million-dollar home in Sydney's east with just weeks left before he gets tied up with a jam-packed summer of cricket featuring series against Pakistan and India.

The cricket WAG, 33, and the Aussie Test cricket captain, 31, confirmed they are expecting their second child together in a sweet Instagram post last month.

Australia have placed the trust in their long-term players for next month's tournament, with Steve Smith one of the few experienced campaigners overlooked. Jake Fraser-McGurk was the most notable absentee, despite blitzing the IPL in recent weeks and his strike-rate of 233.33 the best of any top-order player.

Mitch Marsh (pictured left) has been appointed as Australia's captain ahead of the T20 World Cup next month, with David Warner (right) also earning a spot in the side. But two players - including one Aussie cricket great - have been overlooked in a pair of shocking snubs.

According to News Corp, Australia selectors have looked elsewhere for batting options, with his bid to reinvent himself as a top-order option failing miserably. The 34-year-old will not compete at the tournament in the West Indies and United States, but David Warner is expected to be named in the team despite being dropped by his IPL side, Delhi Capitals.

After getting off to a shaky start, Hurricanes opener Ben McDermott got to the ground with a huge six that soared into the atmosphere at Melbourne's stadium. The cameraman struggled to pick up the ball and, after panning down to the fielders below, it became apparent that there might be a problem. The ball was caught in the steelworks in spectacular scenes on the roof of Melbourne's main stadium.

Having stepped away from international cricket last February, the star batter, 37, is expected to play at least three more games for the Melbourne Renegades before calling time. Finch made his decision ahead of the Renegades' match against the Hobart Hurricanes in Melbourne on Thursday night.

Australian white-ball stalwart Aaron Finch hinted that the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) season might mark the conclusion of his cricketing career

In the first Test, the star opening batter responded to Johnson's remarks in fine style by scoring a century against Pakistan (pictured, left) before delivering a letter from his ex-teammate Aaron Finch (pictured, inset).

The skipper (pictured above, inset) made a crucial call all night, and if he hadn't made the right call, the team would have looked'mad.' With a spectacular demolition of hosts India in Ahmedabad early Monday morning, the Aussies claimed a historic sixth World Cup title. Australian time is 12:10 a.m.

LAWRENCE BOOTH: Since being crushed to ninth place in the 10-team table, Australia's World Cup campaign is in danger of unraveling. Only Afghanistan is listed below them. After South African opener Quinton de Kock's second century of the competition, the Australians were reduced to 70 for six by three wickets for Kagiso Rabada, set 312 for victory. Marnus Labuschagne ground out 46 people, but a total of 177 condemned them to their seventh defeat in eight one-day internationals, with former captain Aaron Finch calling them "timid." Marcus Stoinis was dismissed for five by the ball's leg side, and third umpire Richard Kettleborough found that his bottom hand was touching his top hand as the ball brushed it. It wasn't, according to replays.

Smith, 34, was an eyebrow raising omission from the team that failed at the T20 World Cup last year, with selectors finding no place for one of Australia's finest batters of all time. However, lead selector George Bailey has confirmed plans for Smith to start batting in the forthcoming series against South Africa this week, with the batter replacing former skipper Aaron Finch at the top of the order.

DANIEL MATTHEWS OF GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas, USA: By 8.30 p.m., when Ali Khan began his run, the temperatures in this part of Texas hovered around 102 degrees. A warm breeze blew across the wicket, but there was barely a cloud or a patch of green on the wicket. All told, optimal batting conditions. Not that Khan - the LA Knight Riders' opening, would have toss the ball to someone else. This was a moment to reminiscence for the actor. He was charged with bowling the first ball of Major League Cricket in this country's newest professional sports league and the sport's new attempt to break America. Broadcasters called it a 'British leap across the Atlantic.' 'Cricket's American dream'

Mitchell Marsh, an Australian Test allrounder, stared down the barrel of a camera and said, "most of Australia dislike me." However, there is evidence that vitriol was misplaced in the wake of his dramatic century in the second Test, which is far from the first time he has excelled in England.

Warner, 36, has been the subject of a lot of skepticism Down Under, with his poor form going into England's mammoth series, triggering calls for Pat Cummins to withdraw him from his team. Warner, who is yet to score a Test century in England, and Cummins and Australia coach Andrew McDonald have steadfastly stood by Warner, and now has the opener has officially announced his retirement date.
