The veteran seamers recently played all three Tests in a 2-1 series loss to South Africa, BBC News reported. The Guardian reported that the fast bowlers were left out of both squads on Monday to refresh before competing in 10 Test matches over 14 weeks later this summer. [1][2][3]

Cummins and Hazlewood will miss both the ODI and Twenty20 fixtures, BBC News reported. Starc, who is 36 years old, was omitted from the ODI squad and has already retired from the Twenty20 format of the game. [1][2]
