The 2021 T20 World Cup winners managed to qualify directly for this year’s T20 World Cup, along with reigning champion England, runner-up Pakistan, India, South Africa, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and the Netherlands. Australia are regarded as the most successful team in terms of World Cups, as they have managed to lift the ODI World Cup six times and the T20 World Cup in 2021 by defeating New Zealand in the final.
The Men in Yellow had a tremendous 2023, as they managed to win the 2023 World Test Championship and the 2023 ODI World Cup. The Aussies would be looking to continue their good form by winning this year’s T20 World Cup.
Before their 2024 T20 World Cup campaign begins, the Aussies will host the Windies for two test matches, three ODI’s, and three T20i’s. They will then travel to New Zealand in February for three T20i’s and two Test matches.
