T20 World Cup 2021 is just a few months away and every team playing in this World Cup have started announcing their team. The Australian team have announced their 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup 2021. Australian cricket squad is looking strong because many of their important first-team players who missed the tours of Bangladesh and West Indies which was recently held, is back in the team now to face the World Cup playing teams.
Australian opening batsman Aaron Finch is the captain of the Australian T20 team and will remain as captain in this whole T20 World Cup 2021 as announced by their Cricket Board. Aaron Finch, however, is battling his knee injury but it is being estimated that he will be 100% fit before the start of the T20 World Cup. The Australian T20 team will include players like David Warner, Steve Smith, a middle-order batsman who is in great form Glenn Maxwell, all-rounder, Pat Cummins, and many more who play an important role in the team. These players weren’t involved in the series against Bangladesh and West Indies. Thus, the Australian team also had to taste defeat in most of the matches. Bangladesh recently defeated Australia in the T20 series by 4-1.
Warner, Smith, Cummins and Maxwell return!

Apart from these players, Josh Inglis, the right-handed wicket-keeper batsman has also been added to the team to play in the T20 World Cup. He earned his spot in the team with his spectacular batting performance in the First-Class cricket and the T20 blast tournament in England.
“Josh has been on our radar for some time with his performances in white-ball cricket and more recently in the Vitality Blast where he topped the run charts,” chairman of selectors George Bailey said to Associated Press.
