Big names miss out as Australia reveal squad for T20 World Cup

While Marsh has been performing the role as interim captain of Australia’s T20I side for much of the last 12 months, the T20 World Cup will be his first major tournament as skipper.

“It’s been an immense privilege to play for my country and now an even greater honour to lead the squad to a World Cup,” Marsh said,

“We have had some strong success in recent times and I am hopeful that will continue in what looks like a wide-open tournament.”

Australia open their T20 World Cup campaign against Oman in Barbados on June 5, before Group B fixtures against England, Namibia and Scotland.

Australia squad: Mitchell Marsh (c), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa
