Marsh to lead Australia in T20 World Cup

Australia have announced its squad for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup to be played in the USA and the West Indies in June.

Interestingly, Steve Smith and Jake Fraser-McGurk were axed from the squad. They were replaced by Cameron Green and Ashton Agar.

This is the first time in a decade that Steve Smith has been left out of a men’s World Cup squad.

Mitch Marsh, who has been leading the T20I side on an interim basis for the past year, has now been officially appointed as the captain of the experienced squad.

Australia’s T20 World Cup squad:

Mitch Marsh (c), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.
