The process of announcing the teams for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which starts from February 19, is going on. After Afghanistan, Bangladesh, England, and New Zealand, Australia’s name has also been added to this list. The Australian selectors have handed over the command of the 15-member team to Pat Cummins. While earlier there was talk of his being out of the tournament, now he has been appointed to the team. Under his leadership, the Kangaroo team won the title by defeating India in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 final. Earlier, they defeated India in the World Test Championship final.
India’s biggest enemy entered
India’s biggest enemy Travis Head has been included in the Australia team for the Champions Trophy 2025. The 31-year-old batsman has given Team India many wounds that they will never forget. His explosive batting in the ODI World Cup 2023, Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and World Test Championship Final 2023 led to the defeat of the Men in Blue. Apart from these, Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne are also part of the Australia team. The performance of both these players against India has also been excellent.
This player has returned
34-year-old fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has returned to the Australian team for the Champions Trophy 2025. He had to be out of the team due to injury in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Scott Boland got the chance in his absence. Strong players like Mitchell Starc, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh, Nathan Ellis, and Alex Carey are also part of the Champions Trophy 2025.
