Australia’s team
Champions trophy 2025: The Champions Trophy is at the mouth, but the tension of the teams is not taking its name. One by one players are getting out. Especially the Australian cricket team is struggling more than this crisis. Not one or two, four players from Australia have been ruled out of the Champions Trophy. These are the players who were elected to this ICC tournament and are in the squad. Apart from this, some players are also injured and they will not be able to play the Champions Trophy.
Australia will have to change his captain, Steve Smith can get responsibility
Australia’s biggest tension is that only their captains are out of the Champions Trophy. Now they have to search for the new captain as well. It is believed that one of Steve Smith and Travis Head may be captain, although there is more possibility of Steve Smith, who is currently commanding the team in the Test series against Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, the team suffered a shock when Star all -rounder Marcus Stoyanis suddenly announced retirement from ODIs. The special thing is that he was in the squad for the Champions Trophy, but even then his retirement will be implemented with immediate effect.
Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Marsh are also out
Apart from Pat Cummins, Mitchell Marsh and Josh Hazlewood are already out. At the same time, if we talk about Cameron Green, they are already injured and their chances of playing in the Champions Trophy are very low. If we talk about these four players, then they will now have to replace Australia. The ICC has already announced that if a team wants, its players can change by February 12. The remaining seven teams will have some changes or not, it is difficult to say, but Australia will have to do it.
Australia will be difficult for semi -finals
Australia has been placed in the group of England for the Champions Trophy this time, in which it will also face South Africa and Afghanistan. Afghanistan has also put Australia in crisis several times before. The teams of England and South Africa are very strong. If this goes on, then Australia will have to struggle to confirm its place in the semi -finals as well.
Australia team for Champions Trophy: Pat Cummins (captain), Alex Carrie, Nathan Ellis, Aaron Hardy, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Englandis, Marnas Labushen, Glenn Maxwell, Matt Short, Steve Smith, Michel Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Jampa.
