Australia, the five-time world champion in cricket, has unveiled its official 15-member squad for the 2023 ICC Men’s ODI World Cup. The team will be led by veteran fast bowler Pat Cummins and is scheduled to compete in India during October-November.
Australia initially announced a provisional squad of 18 players for the 2023 ODI World Cup, a list that has now been trimmed down to the final 15. The announcement came on Wednesday, September 6, with less than a month remaining until the start of the tournament.
Notable Omissions
While there are no significant surprises in the final squad, one prominent name missing from the team is star Test player Marnus Labuschagne. The decision to omit Labuschagne is a noteworthy development.
Strength in Bowling
Australia’s squad is balanced with a focus on its bowling prowess. The team will rely on four leading pacers, including captain Pat Cummins, along with three pace all-rounders. Additionally, they have two spinners and one spin all-rounder, providing a total of 10 bowling options.
Key Squad Members
The Australian team boasts a strong batting lineup with five proper batsmen, including Steve Smith, David Warner, Travis Head, Alex Carey, and Josh Inglis, who also serve as the two wicket-keeper batters. The squad also features four all-rounders in Mitchell Marsh, Cameron Green, Marcus Stoinis, and Glenn Maxwell, along with spinners Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa.
With their 15-player squad now confirmed, Australia is gearing up for the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, where they will aim to add another championship to their illustrious cricketing history.
