The 21-year-old quick bowler eyes a return to international cricket after recovering from a back injury that cut short his season.
Australian fast bowler Mahli Beardman is set to return to competitive cricket following months of rehabilitation from a lower back stress fracture. The 21-year-old has been cleared to play and will feature in a one-day match for Western Australia against England at the WACA on November 8, 2026.
Beardman is targeting an ODI debut for Australia against England at Optus Stadium on November 13, 2026. Mentored by Dennis Lillee, the pacer spent extensive time strengthening his body to withstand top-level fast bowling after making his T20I debut against Pakistan in January 2026.
