Cricket squad changes, rate hike

Australia's cricket team announced its squad for the upcoming England ODI and T20I series, with key players like Starc, Cummins, and Hazlewood rested, per Yahoo Sports.

The selection choices have drawn criticism following Australia's poor performance in South Africa, with Geoff Lemon noting that the team's approach may need a reality check, The Guardian reports.

Meanwhile, inflation concerns are driving Australia toward a fifth interest rate hike as the central bank intensifies its fight against rising prices, Bloomberg notes.

Separately, Australia’s campaign finance laws are facing scrutiny amid growing calls for reform, with comparisons being drawn to the US 'Citizens United' case, Politico reports.
