Left-arm quick relishing a return to consistent cricket after overcoming a stress fracture earlier this year…

Spencer Johnson is set to lead Australia's pace attack in the upcoming white-ball series against England, feeling better prepared than ever after recovering from a back stress fracture. With Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood rested ahead of a Test series against New Zealand, the 30-year-old left-arm quick will take on a senior bowling role alongside Xavier Bartlett.
Johnson recently completed 27 overs in South Australia's Second XI, marking his first multi-day match in nearly two years. He believes the heavy workload of three ODIs in six days will help him build momentum, maintain pace, and pursue his ambitions of playing red-ball cricket for Australia in the future.
