Australia T20 World Cup 2024 Squad: Full Player List
Australia named 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup 2024.
Cricket Australia has named their 15-man squad for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in the United States and West Indies, with some surprising selections and omissions.
Mitch Marsh will lead the charge as captain, while notably absent from the squad for the first time since 2014 is veteran batter Steve Smith. This decision reflects the team’s focus on aggressive, attacking play from the outset.
Other interesting picks include Ashton Agar and Cameron Green, who return to the T20I fold after an 18-month break.
Death-bowling specialist Nathan Ellis joins the pace attack alongside the established trio of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood. Wicketkeeping duties will be shared by Matthew Wade and Josh Inglis.
The squad prioritizes experience, with the high-scoring youngster Jake Fraser-McGurk, despite his recent brilliance in the IPL, being overlooked. Australia is expected to arrive in the Caribbean in late May, facing Oman, England, Namibia, and Scotland in the group stage.
Full Squad of Australia for T20 World Cup 2024:
