There's been a major outcry after Wisden's Test Team of the Year for 2024 excluded all Australian players, despite Australia's World Test Championship final berth and dominance in Test cricket. Fans and commentators are questioning the selection panel's choices, particularly the omission of captain Pat Cummins.
'Bit worried' Smith opens up on injury | 01:29 Pat Cummins ’ men have “completed cricket” but have somehow, inexplicably, been wiped out in Wisden ’s Test Team of the Year.
Australia had seven wins and two defeats in red ball cricket during the 2024 calendar year — and this summer’s thrilling Border-Gavaskar series win over India booked the Aussies a place in the World Test Championship final at Lord’s in London, beginning July 11. “Reigning champions Australia will join them at Lords following their home series win against India, but our 41-strong panel – the biggest we’ve had in the six years we’ve been selecting a Men’s Test XI of the Year – couldn’t find room for a single Aussie in this year’s chosen number,” cricket commentator Jo Harman wrote.
