Australia's T20 World Cup 2024 squad, under the leadership of Mitch Marsh, blends seasoned veterans with promising newcomers. Notable selections include Ashton Agar and Cameron Green, while the fast-bowling lineup boasts formidable talents such as Nathan Ellis, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood. Steve Smith has been left out of the squad in a surprising strategic shift. Final adjustments to the team can be made until the deadline of May 25.
Cricket Australia has officially announced its 15-player roster for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, which will be held in the United States and the West Indies from June 1 to 29. The announcement, made on May 1, 2024, highlights a squad the Selection Chair believes is well-balanced and capable of performing well in the tournament.
Despite this, the selection process has left some in-form and deserving players out of the final cut, sparking discussions among cricket enthusiasts.
