Australia Announces ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Squad

Australia named their best possible side for the event in the West Indies but some huge calls were made for the long-term servants of the team.

Australia have left Steve Smith out of a men's World Cup squad for the first time in a decade, while Jake Fraser-McGurk's late push for a spot on the plane to the Caribbean has also failed.

Ashton Agar and Cameron Green are the big winners from the 15-man squad named for June's T20 event, with the Western Australian pair picked despite both having been absent from international T20 cricket for nearly 18 months.
