Women?s T20 World Cup 2023: On Tuesday, Australia unveiled a strong lineup to defend their ICC Women's T20 World Cup title, spearheaded by Meg Lanning, Ellyse Perry, and a fully recovered Alyssa Healy. The return of leg-spinner Georgia Wareham from a protracted injury-related absence has further reinforced the ranks of the five-time champions, who are strong contenders for the event in South Africa next month.



It is important to note that after her injury in 2021, Wareham has played in a limited number of matches. The 23-year-old has made a comeback to the cricket field by playing for Victoria's one-day team.&nbsp;



Wareham and Healy were both a member of the team that won the T20 World Cup the year before when Australia crushed India by 85 runs in front of more than 86,000 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to win the T20 World Cup in 2020.

Lanning takes over as captain after returning from an indeterminate months-long break late last month, putting to rest speculation that she had played her final international match. After driving Australia to a frantic streak of victories, the record-breaking 30-year-old made the decision to "focus on me" and leave the sport in August.



Australia's World Cup defense will begin on February 12 against New Zealand, followed by group games against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. Before departing for South Africa, Australia will play a home T20 and one-day series against Pakistan.



Australia will win a third consecutive T20 World Cup if they manage to win in South Africa, following their victories in the West Indies in 2018 and at home in 2020. The same Meg Lanning who guided the Australians to victory in the previous tournaments will be in charge this time.

Australia announces 15-member squad for Women's T20 World Cup 2023

australia-announces-15-member-squad-for-womens-t20-world-cup-2023

Ind vs Aus: Australia Announced a strong 16-men squad for the ODI series in India. Marsh, Maxwell returns: Australia have finally picked a trio of key players to make their after-injury comeback to the side during the three-match ODI series in India later this month. On Thursday, Cricket Australia announced a strong 16-man squad for the ODI series, with all-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Mitch Marsh making their International return.



Along with David Warner, Ashton Agar, and Pat Cummins, who all returned to Australia this week from the Test tour, paceman Jhye Richardson will also make his long-awaited international return. In order to get a head start on the conditions for their World Cup campaign later in the year, Australia has chosen an almost full-strength squad for the ODI series in India next month.



Cummins left the team this week to attend to a medical condition that a Cricket Australia official described as a "serious family illness," but he plans to return before the third Test the following week.

Marsh (recovering from an ankle injury) and Maxwell (recovering from a broken leg) both missed a fair amount of time after having surgery during the home summer, but they are both expected to play in the three-match <a href="https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/3078763" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tour</a> that will take place after the current Test campaign, with ODI games in Mumbai, Vizag, and Chennai.

Speaking about the inclusion of the three players, chief selector George Bailey indicated that Maxwell, Marsh, and Richardson could be crucial players in the squad for the World Cup later this year.



"With the World Cup just over seven months away, these matches in India are an important step in our preparation," Bailey said.



"Glenn, Mitchell, and Jhye are all important players in what we think the squad might look like come October. It would be great for Josh to be part of this series but we have taken a conservative view ahead of a very important winter in England of which he will be an integral part," he added.

Australia Tour of Sri Lanka 2025: Australia, after having a dominating Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, are all set to tour Sri Lanka for a red-ball series. Cricket Australia have announced the squad for the tour today and Steve Smith is named captain of the side as Pat Cummins is rested.
Australia won the Border Gavaskar Trophy after a decade this year. The series started with Perth's loss for them and many ruled them out as a competition against India this time as well. But, they owned strong character and won three out of four test matches clinching the series 3-1. 
The entire bowling department was thoroughly in the best of their forms, the batting looked damped in the first two tests but by the end of BGT 2025, the entire batting lineup got some runs from their bat. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_676e141bad740.jpg" alt="">
Now, Australia has unveiled a 16-player squad for their upcoming two-match Test series in Sri Lanka, with a few surprising changes. Skipper Pat Cummins will miss the tour as he takes paternity leave to welcome his second child while continuing to recover from an ankle issue that plagued him throughout the home season.
Meanwhile, Mitchell Marsh, who was part of the team that triumphed over India, has been left out. Adding to the injury concerns, Josh Hazlewood remains unavailable due to the setback that sidelined him during the latter stages of the India series. These adjustments set the stage for an intriguing challenge as Australia gears up for the Sri Lankan Tests.
<h2>Australia Squad for Sri Lanka Tour</h2>
Steve Smith (C), Travis Head(VC), Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Nathan McSweeney, Beau Webster, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, Cooper Connolly, Todd Murphy, Matt Kuhnemann, Sean Abbott
Australia's squad for the two-Test series in Sri Lanka signals a clear strategy to tackle spin-friendly conditions. With only two frontline pacers, Mitchell Starc and Sean Abbott, the focus has shifted firmly to spin.
Todd Murphy and Matt Kuhnemann join the experienced Nathan Lyon, creating a strong spin arsenal designed for the turning tracks of Galle. This balanced mix of experience and fresh talent shows how the selectors are adapting to the challenges of playing conditions in Sri Lanka.
On the batting front, Nathan McSweeney has earned a spot in the squad despite falling out of favor during the India series. Adding a fresh spark, young Cooper Connolly, a left-handed batter who can also bowl orthodox spin, has received his first-ever Test call-up. His inclusion not only reflects Australia’s faith in young talent but also highlights their intent to embrace versatility.
Sam Konstas also retained his spot in the side. Alex Carey and Josh Inglis are two wicket-keeping options and the presence of Vice Captain Travis Head provides an absolute balance to the squad. With these selections, Australia seems ready to take on the Sri Lankan conditions with both skill and strategy.

Australia's squad for the Sri Lanka Tests emphasizes spin with Lyon, Murphy, and Kuhnemann. McSweeney returns, while debutant Connolly adds versatility. Starc and Abbott lead a trimmed-pace attack.

Australia strengthens spin options for Sri Lanka Tests, recalls McSweeney, and includes debutant Connolly. Starc, Abbott lead reduced pace lineup.

Cummins Rested, Smith to Lead! Cricket Australia Announced Squad for Sri Lanka Tour

cummins-rested-smith-to-lead-cricket-australia-announced-squad-for-sri-lanka-tour

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Australia has announced its 15-player preliminary squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, set to take place in Pakistan and the UAE from February 19 to March 9. The squad aims to build on Australia's rich history in the tournament, having previously lifted the trophy in 2006 and 2009.
Pat Cummins, despite nursing an ankle issue, has been named captain, reinforcing his leadership role in a team filled with experience and emerging talent.
The announcement brings some fresh faces into the spotlight. All-rounders Matt Short and Aaron Hardie have earned their maiden call-ups for an ICC event, adding versatility and depth to the lineup. Both players have been standout performers in domestic cricket, with Short impressing as an opener following David Warner's retirement and Hardie showcasing his all-round prowess.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_678496e12183d.jpg" alt="">
Meanwhile, Nathan Ellis, known for his sharp bowling in the Big Bash League, has also secured a spot in the squad, strengthening Australia's pace options.
While the squad sees promising inclusions, it also marks a few notable exclusions. Jake Fraser-McGurk, who was pitched as Warner’s successor, has been left out after a string of underwhelming performances in ODIs. Additionally, Cameron Green and Sean Abbott missed out due to injuries, while Warner’s retirement left a significant void in the top order.
Australia's bowling attack remains their strongest asset, with the return of the formidable pace trio—Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc. Hazlewood, recovering from a calf injury that sidelined him during the India Test series, is expected to play a key role in the tournament.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_678496e337c76.jpg" alt="">
Ellis joins the trio, bringing a fresh dimension to the attack, while Adam Zampa will lead the spin department with his precision and guile.
On the batting front, seasoned players like Steve Smith and Travis Head are expected to anchor the innings. Head, alongside Short, will likely open the batting, with Smith and Marnus Labuschagne forming the backbone of the middle order.
All-rounders Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, and Mitch Marsh add firepower and balance, ensuring Australia has depth in both batting and bowling.
Pat Cummins’ availability was initially under question, given his ongoing ankle issue and his decision to skip the Sri Lanka Test series to be with his wife Becky for the birth of their second child. However, the captain has committed to leading the side in this marquee event, reflecting his dedication to the team’s campaign.
"It’s a balanced squad, combining experience with exciting new talent," selection chair George Bailey said, emphasizing the team’s readiness to adapt to the conditions in Pakistan.
Australia is placed in Group B alongside Afghanistan, England, and South Africa. Their campaign kicks off against England on February 22 in Lahore, a high-stakes clash that promises to set the tone for the tournament.
The team's only warm-up match will be against Sri Lanka in Hambantota, three days after the conclusion of the Sri Lanka Test series.
With a blend of experience, fresh talent, and the hunger to end a 15-year drought, Australia enters the ICC Champions Trophy as a strong contenders. Fans will eagerly watch as the team strives to reclaim the coveted title and add another chapter to their rich cricketing legacy.

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
