Australia Squad for ICC World Cup 2023. Australia will be one of the strongest teams in the ICC World Cup 2023. The five-time World Cup champions crushed Team India in the ODI series a few months ago, which makes them a dangerous team on Indian soil. Under Pat Cummins, Australia will send a menacing squad for ICC World Cup.

ICC World Cup 2023 will observe a fight among 10 teams. Since Aaron Finch has retired, Pat Cummins is expected to lead the team in the tournament. With an intimidating set of batters, pacers, and spinners, Australia is one of the most fearful teams in international cricket. Here we take a peek at Australia’s probable squad for ICC World Cup 2023.

Unlike the last edition, Australia will see a different set of openers in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. David Warner and Travis Head will be the two players who can take the openers’ responsibility.

Due to injuries, David Warner has only played 1 ODI game this year in which he scored 23 runs. However, the left-handed batter has been impressive in Ashes 2023. Travis Head owns magnificent form this year, smashing 89 runs in 3 ODIs this year with a half-century and averaging 44.50.

Four pacers who can be part of Australia’s squad in the ODI World Cup 2023 are Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Nathan Ellis. Pat Cummins is also the captain in ODIs and will guide the team in the tournament.

Josh Hazlewood holds the top rank in the ICC rankings and is among the most feared bowlers in international cricket. Left-arm Mitchell Starc provides more variation in the pace of attack. He grabbed 8 wickets in 3 ODI games against India and also clinched a 5-wicket haul in one game.

Nathan Ellis bagged 2 wickets in the only ODI this year. With his nice show during the ODI series in India and IPL 2023, Ellis is expected to be part of the Australia squad in the World Cup. However, he might not play all the games.
