Sydney, Jan 13 (UNI) The return of Pat Cummins headlines Australia's preliminary 15-player squad for the ICC Mens Champions Trophy 2025.
Cummins will lead the side in Pakistan, after it was recently confirmed he isn't traveling to Sri Lanka with the Test side later this month due to an ankle problem.
Matt Short and Aaron Hardie have been included for their maiden squad call ups for an ICC event, while quick Nathan Ellis has also earned a spot. They are the three changes to the squad that won the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, replacing David Warner (retired), Cameron Green (back surgery) and Sean Abbott.
