The Australian selectors have decided to turn their attention to the spin-heavy team by looking at the conditions expected to be on offer in India and Sri Lanka during the showpiece event.

“The T20 team has enjoyed a long run of recent success, which has enabled the panel to choose a balance of players from the variety of conditions that Sri Lanka and India can present,” said selection chairman George Bailey.
“Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Tim David are on track and we are confident they will be available for the World Cup.
“This is a preliminary team, so if any changes need to be made, they will do so before the support period.
“A squad for the three-match T20 series against Pakistan preceding the World Cup will be named at a later date.”
Australia squad for T20 World Cup 2026:
Mitchell Marsh (c), Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Cameron Green, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Matthew Kuhnemann, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Short, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa
