Talking Points from the Squad
1) Marnus Labuschagne has been left out of the squad and that can surprise a lot of fans because he would have been good in India in these slow pitches.
2) The fast bowling attack is one of the best as Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Sean Abbott will lead the pace attack.
3) The squad has been filled with experience as David Warner and Steve Smith will be the experienced batters and Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis and Mitchell Marsh are the app rounders.
4) The team has been filled with spinners and all rounders looking at the conditions in India and that is a good decision.
5) 3 Players from this list will be left out of the 15 Member Main Squad that will be announced for the World Cup in a month’s time.
