A host of emerging and fringe players have made their mark in the first two T20Is against South Africa

Only Cameron Bancroft showed resistance on the final day as the hosts lost 8 for 84

The legspinner only arrived in South Africa 24 hours earlier, but went on to claim four wickets

Australia A were hit by an injury to Joel Paris while the visitors were able to claim a late wicket

Australia A let the game slip from them on the second day as the middle order faltered and bowlers struggled for control

New Zealand A were knocked over for 147 on the opening day in Brisbane

A strong performance for Australia A against New Zealand A could vault him up the pecking order

International duty could also be a factor in his availability for Capitals, with Australia scheduled to play T20Is against West Indies in February

Australia's uncapped players will get the opportunity to impress in the upcoming T20Is and ODIs

The former captain praised the performance of Zak Crawley and the durability of Pat Cummins

The captain suffered a fractured wrist in the final Ashes Test and will likely miss the ODIs in South Africa

He has been named Australia's T20I captain for South Africa tour, and could also be in the running for the ODI job full time

One silver lining is that he will be available for plenty of Sheffield Shield cricket before the Test summer

Also keep an eye out for a left-arm seamer named Johnson, and the BBL's Player of the Tournament

Spencer Johnson, Aaron Hardie and Matt Short have been handed their first Australia selections

Focus will now shift to the World Cup but the Test team is facing a transition period

"I've never seen tactics shift so dramatically on the back of a decision," Australia coach says, but admits that his batters "should have been able to navigate that"

Australia coach wants all Test series to have a minimum of three games to "show the importance of Test cricket to every nation"

Winning Tests in England isn't easy. Australia won three and lost two out of six. But if "Ashes tend to define eras or legacies", Cummins' team fell short

Cummins will have at least three weeks off and maybe longer if he is not included for the T20Is against South Africa
