Australia T20 World Cup 2024 Squad: Australia have announced their 15-man squad for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024, slated to take place in the United States of America and West Indies in the month of June. As expected, Mitchell Marsh is set to lead the side. The exclusion of veteran Steve Smith and prodigy Jake Fraser-McGurk comes as a surprise. Smith finds himself out of any World Cup squad for the first time since 2014.


Australia have chosen to go with two specialist spinners in the form of Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar for the upcoming marquee event. Along with the fabled three-man pace battery of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, Nathan Ellis also finds a spot in Australia’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2024.

Travis Head is set to open with veteran David Warner who is set to retire from international cricket post the ICC event. For wicket-keeping options, Josh Inglis and Matthew Wade are there in the squad.
