Fresh from a Sheffield Shield century, Ben McDermott has been pulled from the match against Tasmania to parachute into the national ODI squad<\/p>\n

Ben McDermott has been added to Australia’s one-day squad following a lower-grade hamstring injury to Matt Short.<\/p>\n

McDermott was pulled out of Queensland’s ongoing Marsh Sheffield Shield match to make the trip to Canberra ahead of the third Dettol ODI against West Indies.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old scored a career-high 146 not out for the Bulls on Saturday and enjoyed a strong finish to KFC BBL|13 where he finished with 261 runs, ranked seventh in the competition.<\/p>\n

McDermott drags Bulls out of trouble with brilliant 146*
\nMcDermott has 25 T20Is and six ODIs to his name after making his international debut back in 2018.<\/p>\n

It’s an unfortunate turn for Short who is looking to establish himself in the ODI squad after being named the BBL’s player of the tournament for the second season running.<\/p>\n

Short scored 41 off 55 balls batting at number six in the second ODI in Sydney on Sunday but pulled up with a tight hamstring, meaning he didn’t field in the evening session.<\/p>\n

“I’m playing it pretty safe so will sit on the boundary for the fielding innings,” Short told Fox Cricket during the innings break.<\/p>\n

The Victoria allrounder is also in the Australian T20 squad to face the West Indies in the series that immediately follows the one-day matches, but it remains to be seen if Short will be fit for those matches that take place on February 9, 11 and 13.<\/p>\n

The most recent of McDermott’s ODIs came on Australia’s tour to Pakistan in March and April in 2022.<\/p>\n

McDermott reflects on ‘special’ maiden ton
\nIt was during that series that McDemott scored his only international century to date, 104 off 108 in Lahore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
