Unfit captain Pat Cummins has been named in Australia’s 15-member preliminary squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 hosted by Pakistan from February 19.
Pat Cummins’s participation in the tournament is yet not confirmed as he has to undergo scans on his ankle. He has already opted out from upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka.
Cummins’ fellow pacer Josh Hazlewood, who missed Australia’s Test series against India because of a calf injury halfway through, will also make a comeback.
Moreover, Nathan Ellis has also secured a berth while Matt Short and Aaron Hardie have been called up for their first-ever squad calls for an ICC event.
They are the three replacements for Sean Abbott, Cameron Green (back surgery), and David Warner (retired) in the team that won the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.
Australia will start their campaign against fierce rivals England in Lahore on February 22.
Australia squad:
Pat Cummins (c), Alex Carey (wk), Nathan Ellis, Aaron Hardie, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis (wk), Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Matt Short, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa.
