Australia, looking to bounce back from the first ODI loss, has made key changes to their squad. They welcomed back three experienced players, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, and Marcus Stoinis, who missed the opening match due to illness. Their return strengthens the Australian side as they aim to level the series.
On the other hand, England has made one change, with Olly Stone replacing Jofra Archer. England’s captain, Harry Brook, emphasized the importance of utilizing the favorable early conditions for bowling at Headingley. "Usually Headingley has a bit in it at the start, especially with overcast conditions," said Brook, confident that his team’s decision to bowl first will pay off.

Australia’s lineup has also been adjusted due to injuries. Cameron Green, Sean Abbott, and Ben Dwarshuis have been left out for this match. Dwarshuis, who made his ODI debut in the first game at Trent Bridge, unfortunately suffered a muscle injury after bowling just four overs. His absence is a significant blow for Australia, but the return of key players like Starc and Maxwell should provide the stability they need.
