- Nathan Smith returns to the pace attack after taking 16 wickets at an average of 23 in the recent England series, joining Ben Sears and Duffy. Mitchell Santner continues as white-ball captain.
- Key bowlers Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry, and Will O'Rourke are resting following heavy workload, while Blair Tickner is unavailable due to ankle surgery and Rachin Ravindra will participate in Major League Cricket.
