‘Khaali 2 spinners waah?’ – Fans react as Australia announce 15-man squad for ODI World Cup 2023

Published on

The 15-person Australian team for the ODI World Cup, which will be held in India in October-November, has been revealed. It should be noted that Australia had originally proposed an 18-person provisional team, but has now reduced it to 15 when Aaron Hardie, Nathan Ellis, as well as Tanveer Sangha failed to get onto the bus. Marnus Labuschagne, a Test specialist, was also passed over for the major world competition.

Australia would enter the World Cup 2023 with a lot of confidence as they had previously won the World Test championship this year. In the 2021–2023 World Test Championship Final, Australia met India, and they were utterly clinical to win the Test match with ease. Then they faced the mighty England team in the UK for the five match Ashes series. They did exceedingly well and came close to winning the series for the first time on away soil since 2001.
