In a recently posted picture, Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins was seen practicing for the World Test Championship (WTC) Finals, which is set to take place in June 2023. This is great news for Australian cricket fans, who were eagerly waiting for Cummins to make a comeback after his tough phase of flying back to Australia in the middle of India tour and weeks later, her mother passed away due to prolonged illness.
The WTC Finals will be a tough battle for both the teams, as they will be playing with their best XI. Australia’s squad for the WTC Finals includes Pat Cummins, who will be returning as captain, along with three other specialist pacemen: Mitch Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Scott Boland.
Pat Cummins has been one of Australia’s most reliable performers in recent times. He has been a key player for the team, both as a captain and a bowler. His inclusion in the squad will undoubtedly boost the team’s confidence and give them a better chance of winning the WTC Finals.
Team India have also announced their squad for the WTC Finals and the fans witnessed an incredible comeback by Ajinkya Rahane and with Rohit’s confirmation earlier, roping in Shardul Thakur was not much of a surprise.
Here’s the squad of both teams –
Team India’s Squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, KL Rahul, KS Bharat (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat
Australia squad: Pat Cummins (captain), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitch Marsh, Todd Murphy, Matthew Renshaw, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, David Warner.
