Cricket Australia (CA) has announced its 15-man squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, which will be held in the West Indies and the USA from June 2. Star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has been appointed as the team’s captain, with other notable players such as Pat Cummins, Tim David, David Warner, and Josh Hazlewood included in the squad.

Major Exclusions

In a significant decision, veteran batter Steve Smith has been excluded from the provisional squad. Additionally, the exciting young talent Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has been performing exceptionally well in the IPL, was not selected.

The selectors have opted for Ashton Agar as a second specialist spinner and Cameron Green as a spare all-rounder, providing the team with more flexibility in their lineup.
