A Delhi-born all-rounder Nikhil Chaudhary is all set to make history for Australia. If he gets a chance on the ongoing Bangladesh tour, Nikhil Chaudhary could become the first Indian-born male cricketer in more than 60 years to play international cricket for Australia.
Chaudhary has been in line to make his Australia debut in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Bangladesh in Chattogram. The youngster has been playing for JB Bruges in the EUT20 competition in Belgium after the recent IPL 2026, where he was called up for a trial with the Delhi Capitals.
Nikhil Chaudhary set for a historic debut for Australia
Well, Travis Head is currently unavailable after taking a break, citing personal reasons, after being named in the limited-overs squad for the Bangladesh tour. On the other hand, Australian captain Mitchell Marsh is recovering from an ankle injury and has already been ruled out of the ongoing ODI series.
These setbacks have opened the door for Nikhil Chaudhary, who has now earned the Australia call-up after strong performances across different competitions. The Hobart Hurricanes star is a leg-spinner and a handy batter in the middle order.
He is expected to join the Australian white-ball squad in Dhaka on Friday, June 12, ahead of the T20I series against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team in Chattogram. Nikhil will fight with Joel Davies and Aaron Hardie for a place in Australia’s playing XI in the T20I series.
