Australia are the reigning ODI World Cup champions after they recorded one of the most incredible comeback stories in the history of cricket by winning every match agter losing their first two matches, en route to the final, where they defeated the hot favourites, the unbeaten and home team, India.
Australia have shown no signs of rusty attitude as they continued to be relentless and resilient in their post-WC series across all formats and after bagging in two Test series within a space of a month and solidifying their position at the summit of the World Test Championship standings, they have decided to hand a much needed rest to their tireless heroes as captain Pat Cummins, alongside Mitch Marsh, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are given a much deserved break to rejuvenate themselves for the upcoming cricket carnival later in 2024.
