Davies called up to Australia T20I Squad

Sydney Sixers young gun Joel Davies has been rewarded for his outstanding rise in Australian cricket, earning selection in the Australian T20I squad to face Bangladesh.

The Sixers are thrilled to celebrate a significant milestone in the career of one of the club’s emerging stars, with Davies receiving his first call-up to Australia’s T20 International squad, alongside Sixers' teammate Josh Philippe.

The left-handed batter and versatile spin bowling option has continued to impress across domestic formats, combining composure with flair to cement his reputation as one of the brightest young prospects in the country.

His selection marks a proud moment for the Sixers and NSW pathways, as Davies is a product of the Manly Warringah Cricket Club.

The entire Sixers organisation congratulates Joel on this outstanding achievement and looks forward to supporting his continued growth.

Davies will join Sixers’ teammates Ben Dwarshuis and Josh Philippe as they all travel to compete in the Qantas Tour of Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Dwarshuis has been included in Australia’s squad for the three-game ODI series prior to the T20I series beginning June 9.

As Dwarshuis, Philippe and Davies prepare to represent Australia, the club will be cheering them on every step of the way.
