After India, New Zealand, South Africa, England, and Afghanistan, now Australia has also announced a 15-member team. Experienced batsman Steve Smith, Delhi Capitals' explosive batsman Jake Fraser McGurk, experienced fast bowler Jason Behrendorff and all-rounder Matt Short have not found a place in this team. The command of the team has been handed over to all-rounder Mitchell Marsh. At the same time, Ashton Agar, Tim David, and Nathan Ellis have also managed to make a place in the team. Apart from this, most of the players in the team are those who were part of the team of the 2022 T20 World Cup and 2023 ODI World Cup.
Green is in the team despite poor form
The T20 World Cup is going to start from June 1st. Agar has not played any T20 International match since the T20 World Cup in 2022. At the same time, Green has been given a place in the team despite his poor form. Stoinis has also not performed anything special this season. Australian Selection Committee Chairman George Bailey said that this is a balanced team and has the potential to perform brilliantly in the ninth edition of the T20 World Cup.
Australian team for T20 World Cup: Mitchell Marsh (captain), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.
Many experienced players on the team
Bailey said- There is a lot of experience in this team. The panel feels that this team covers every aspect of the game and will be successful in the West Indies. It's great to see Agger back in the squad. He has been getting injured at regular intervals which was unfortunate for us. Agar can play an important role in this tournament. At the same time, Green, Stoinis, Maxwell, and Marsh will be an important part of our bowling attack. We have also prepared batting options according to each venue and opposition.
Bailey's statement regarding Smith-McGurk
Bailey said that by limiting the squad to 15, many players missed out on a place in it. He said- Steve Smith, Matt Short, Behrendorff, Aaron Hardy, Spencer Johnson, and Xavier Bartlett were part of our conversation. Apart from this, we had also discussed Jake Fraser McGurk, but he is yet to make his debut in T20. He has influenced all of us a lot. Limiting the squad to 15 is always a challenge and we just have to focus on the important aspects.
The Australian team will start the campaign on June 5
Bailey said- We will continue to look after the team and will also keep an eye on those who missed a place in the team. If we need to change the team further, we will make changes as per ICC rules. At present, this team of 15 players looks balanced and we hope that they will be successful in winning the trophy. According to ICC rules, changes can be made in this squad till May 23. The Australian team will start its World Cup campaign with a match against Barbados on June 5. After this, they have to play against England, Namibia and Scotland. These four teams have been placed in Group B.
