Besides the upcoming challenge at home against India in the Border Gavaskar Trophy and a tough last stretch expected in the race to qualify for the World Test Championship final, Australia coach Andrew McDonald is aware of the fact that the current ODI and Test world champions will soon hit a transition phase. He is planning for that with what he calls "future-proofing".
McDonald's contract has recently been extended until 2027, and he is focused on implementing a gradual generational change, with the current Test squad's average age hovering at 33.
