Cricket: Australia has announced its preliminary 15-player squad for the ICC Men's Champion's Trophy kicking off on February 19th in Pakistan.
Change Warner heir must make as Aussie ‘dynamite’ fizzles; lifeline to flip script: Winners and Losers Australia has announced a 15-man squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy competition, with big-name stars missing out on selection.
With Mitch Marsh returning to this squad, there was a strong chance Stoinis could have found himself ousted for the Champions Trophy with little international form to go off. His inclusion marks a sharp change in fortunes for the all-rounder who was once considered to be coming close to the end of his ODI career.
Stoinis was then snubbed in the Cricket Australia central contracts list for the 2024-25 season, leaving the writing on the wall. That decision came after the Western Australian bowled only 13 overs in three Tests to go with scores of 9, 5, 4, 2 and 0.“So we felt like it was time for a freshen up and Beau’s been great.
Throw in the mix a 121 a month prior, and a 60 against England in September 2024, and it’s clear Marsh has been a significant contributor in the 50-over format for Australia. After starting his BBL campaign slowly, Short has been on-fire for the Strikers, belting 52 and 109 in his last two games. But with Ellis also in the squad, and an injury cloud hanging over Cummins’ ankle, the Tasmanian gun could well find himself a regular fixture in the Champions Trophy side.However, he has bowled economically in those games, with batsmen only able to score 5.96 runs per over.
Fraser-McGurk is one of the world’s most explosive batsmen, but his aggressive style hasn’t served him well so far this summer.His highest ODI score in five games for Australia also only sits at 41 so the rising star has come under heavy scrutiny for the swashbuckling style he’s remained committed to.
“He’s happy with the way that he approaches the game, he’d like a few more runs... If you’re not scoring runs, the solution to that is you’re going to get dropped. That’s despite previously being a regular fixture in Australian squads, featuring in the wider group for the recent India Test series and also being named in the 2023 World Cup squad.
