Australia name 15-player squad for T20 World Cup title defense

Australia have announced a 15-player squad as they prepare to defend their T20 World Cup crown later this year. The selection gives the team an early look at the group they will rely on as the tournament approaches.

The squad announcement comes as Australia begin their build-up to another major white-ball campaign, with the defending champions aiming to stay among the leading contenders. The selection reflects the balance the national side is trying to strike between experience and form.

Details of the group were released by ESPNcricinfo, which reported the squad on Saturday. Australia will now turn their attention to final preparations and tournament planning as they look to retain the title they won at the previous edition.

The T20 World Cup remains one of the biggest events on the cricket calendar, and Australia’s squad reveal sets the tone for their defence. More updates on player roles and tournament build-up are expected in the weeks ahead.
