In his latest out of 23 caps for the Socceroos, Davidson played during Australia’s 2-1 friendly victory over Jordan in June 2022—over half a decade since his prior match in the team’s colors. Now, he finds himself back in contention as part of the national side set to face Indonesia this coming Thursday evening in Sydney, followed by a showdown with China the following Tuesday in Hangzhou.
