The Stars, who registered an eight-wicket win over the Hobart Hurricanes at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Wednesday, are confident in continuing their winning streak in the absence of key players James Faulkner, Glenn Maxwell and Scott Boland, according to The Guardian. The trio will join the Australian national squad for an ODI series against the West Indies.
"I still think we've got a strong enough side. We bat deep enough and bowl deep enough that I think we'll be fine going into the last few rounds," Boland said, according to SBS. "I'm sure we'll be fine. We've got some nice momentum going now and other teams are losing players as well - it's not just us."
The Renegades' skipper Aaron Finch is also set to join the Australian ODI squad for the upcoming series against the West Indies. He has been replaced, and all-rounder Cameron White is new skipper, according to AAP.
