5 major changes in Australian team before Champions Trophy: Before the Champions Trophy 2025, starting on February 19, the Australian cricket team has not had one but five big shocks. A few days ago, the Australian team management said that four changes would be made in the team. But now five changes have been made in the 15 -member team before the ICC deadline. Captain Pat Cummins as well as fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, all-rounder Michel Marsh and Marcus Stoinis have already been dropped from the team. Now Australian star bowler Mitchell Starc is also out of the Champions Trophy.
Mitchell Starc Champions Trophy out of 2025
Two bowlers of the Australian team have already been out of the team and if Mitchell Starc does not even play, Australia’s bowling attack will become very weak. Mitchell Starc has decided to stay out of the Champions Trophy 2025 for personal reasons. The Australian team on Wednesday announced a team of 15 players for the tournament, and Stark’s absence and the injuries of the players have given another blow to the struggling team.
Five new players included in the team
Here, let us tell you that captain Pat Cummins is out of the team due to a leg injury, while fast bowler Josh Hazlewood and all -rounder Michel Marshal have been out due to back injury. Earlier this month, Marcus Stoinis announced his retirement from one day international cricket. Now, the inclusion of five new players instead of all these players became a headache for the team. Now Sean Abbott, Ben Dwashers, Jack Fraser-Macgark, Spencer Johnson and Tanveer Sangha have got a place in the team. While the captaincy of the team has been handed over to Steve Smith.
Australian team for Champions Trophy: Steve Smith (Captain), Sean Abbott, Alex Kerry, Ben Dawashire, Nathan Ellis, Jack Fraser-Macgark, Aaron Hardy, Travis Head, Josh English, Spencer Johnson, Marnas Labushen, Glenn Maxwell, Tanveer Sangh, Matthew Short and Adam Jampa.
