The Australian cricket team led by Mitchell Marsh will be hoping to win its second ICC T20 World Cup 2024 title. The Australian cricket team led by Mitchell Marsh will be hoping to win its second ICC T20 World Cup 2024 title. Australia, who are a global force when it comes to ICC tournaments, last won the coveted T20 World Cup trophy in 2021. They head into the 2024 T20 World Cup, having won the 50-over event in India last year. Most of Australia’s white-ball stars form the crux of the 20-over team. Australia are waiting on the progress of Marsh, who had to leave the IPL 2024 season following a hamstring tendon injury. He is recovering and is expected to be fit. Australia will want the best from their skipper, who would be raring to have a crack. David Warner also suffered an injury in the IPL and had to sit out of several games. But he is fine now and in what will be his last tournament in national colours, expect the southpaw to come good. Australia have a powerful squad with superb balance and are one of the favourites. Australia have been onetime runners-up at the event in addition to winning one title and reaching two semi-finals. They have been ousted in R1 once and R2 on three occasions. At the 2024 event, Australia are paired alongside the likes of England, Namibia, Scotland and Oman. They will use these games to tune in for the Super 8s and flex their muscles after that.
Here, we analyze the Australian squad for the T20 World Cup.
A LOOK AT AUSTRALIA’S 15-MEMBER SQUAD
