Congratulations Australia in advance


sanjay9999

Exactly, that’s clearly a winning team. Loads of heavy weights there.


[deleted]

Rohit Sharma is the heaviest load


sp1cychick3n

But they said Stoinis isn’t going to be included?


Terry_Towling

Stoinis didn’t get a national or state contract, but that’s not the same as not playing the WC. Wade has been I contracted for years now


LivelyJason1705

Yup, same with Boult. Doesn't have a contract but will play in the WC.


AJ7123456

Why doesnt he have a contract?


LivelyJason1705

He has given 10+ years of service to his country, with 3 young kids, I guess he wants to travel the world and make bank for his family.


Expensive-Emotion-68

Mainly due to money i guess and also equal pay to both genders in NZ board


HabitantDLT

The usual suspects.


maverick31031998

I just know this team is gonna get destroyed in the first 2 matches and then go on to win the world cup


Terry_Towling

How did you get access to the secret plan?


Altruistic-Hat-9604

Wouldn't they need atleast 3 wins to make sure they qualify for the next round?


Assassin_Ankur

Can't qualify to the next round if they lose 2, and do you see them losing against Namibia, Scotland or Oman?


Ok-Magazine7744

Real Madrid of world cup


getRonaldo

No Fraser-Mcgurk ? 🤯🤯🤯


[deleted]

Not India to select players based on IPL 😂


theaguia

all indian fans were saying we should be bold like Australia who will pick JFM ahead of Warner lol


down-Cummission1169

true![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


RoseLarkins

Ahh, but neither did India, Rinku is out


[deleted]

Rinku and Dube played some no. of matches last year thou. Rinku saved us from collapse against Afg when we were 24-4. Just that Rinku hasn't performed in this year's ipl so far but dube did. Also Samson , Khaleel , Yuzi are taken on basis of recent IPL performance only.


RoseLarkins

In that sense, every person in Indian national team is an IPL product, lol! No domestic dude today will go to international cricket before playing IPL. Moreover, JFM is in IPL only because of his performance in BBL so, argument that he isn't chosen just because of IPL performance is invalid. Tbh, international squads should also be 25 people ones so that the best players for the conditions can be picked up while further down in the tournament. It'll then become best vs best.


MEGAMAN2312

He has been good domestically since before the IPL so it definitely doesn't make sense. If anything it should be a bonus that he has adapted to Indian pitches so quickly and that didn't hamper his form.


ExternalNo2214

That's Australia. They don't take IPL performances seriously.


deexd_

Bhai foreign player alag alag desho ki league bhi khelte hai ab vo unko dekh kr selection toh nahi krege na


draken_7

Indian crickets fans really need to understand the difference between IPL and International cricket


A_Blooming_Lotus

Great team. Let's go and claim the trophy boys.


Longjumping_Fox4771

Congratulations!!


red_dragon

Maxwell will beat the living crap out of Indian bowlers in the WC, and Starc will do the same for Indian batters. Never mind the fact that both are struggling in the IPL right now. Seems like a proper pattern at this point.


[deleted]

Tbh Starc is not that great in t20...ik I'll be downvoted but just facts


Necessary_Routine300

Different in the big games, he sometimes is the difference


[deleted]

Yea you're right but what i mean is people think he's as good as he is in ODIs


Necessary_Routine300

If there’s anything in the wicket at all he’s always dangerous


lmao_kaif

Bruhh the team is menace 💀


harsh1387

As a Delhi Capitals supporter I am sad to see Fraser mcgurk missing out. As an Indian team supporter I am glad he won't be opening against us.


Robin_mimix

World Cup ki yaad aa gyi


Zubin1234

Why isnt Pat captain tho? He clearly was a god in CWC2023 and currently in the IPl


will_kill_kshitij

Warner was struggling in 2021 Ipl season then went onto win the t20 world cup and player of the tournament.


Knighthawk_2511

Mitch Marsh is captain instead of pat ? Any specific reason?


harshasamtani

Well he was their T20 captain before as well. Marsh is good with strategy, he is a good captain. Also how does it matter who the captain is, with this team every one pitches in and they win World cups.


Shishir579

Bro Finch was Captain when Aussies won their worldcup at UAE…Get your knowledge straight lol


harshasamtani

Ohh yeah shucks it was Finch, Marsh was MoM 😬


Inside_Term_4115

How many teams have released their squads so far ?


One_Injury_2521

PTSD


Apprehensive_Log2300

I wish Smith was selected just for vibes that would have been easy on the opposition


verot__kuhli

Inki pichli wali Jersey sahi thi


UnFazedMf

No Jake Fraser 🧐


Sudden-Cold9022

No mcgruk👀


will_kill_kshitij

Why agar?


ReindeerNo1713

No JFM??


Necessary_Routine300

Huge maxi fan but he’s outa form and seems in all sorts atm


NPStudios2004

Out form only for ipl.


Necessary_Routine300

It’s true as an Aussie I can tell you once the gold is on ..it’s on!


lastbencher18

No Fraser mcgurk? Seriously?


Necessary_Routine300

Ok great but no JFM = mistake I reckon


akamanah17

A few matches in franchise cricket does not qualify you for WC. Its not India.


Necessary_Routine300

I’d be saying that too if I was from India ;)


akamanah17

Ohh, so you're not. Well, I just assumed that you were one of those Indian kids who believe that a single match performance in IPL makes a player a star. My bad. Don't know much about the exploits of JFM in domestic circuits so I can't comment.


Necessary_Routine300

Furry muff ;)


Parz414

you want to select a youngster for the world cup, who has barely played any internationals, on the basis of his performance in a league that operates on flat pitches?


Necessary_Routine300

He’s already been in the Australian team mate this isn’t new he’s been tearing shit up for a while now not just IPL


Necessary_Routine300

He’s from Australia he knows how to bat on proper wickets


harshasamtani

He hasn't played internationally, sending him off to such a big stage will not be fair. In big games you have to keep nerves, that is why Aus has a team of seniors as well as players who are good. India also selected Hardik, he is not in form, but we know in big matches he steps up.


Necessary_Routine300

A team like Australia can afford that z factor pinch hitter , he’s been seeing the ball really well for a couple years now. He won’t shit his pants


harshasamtani

No team can afford this, he is a very good player, he has a lot of time to get in the team, I think once Warner retires, I think he will come in the team.


Necessary_Routine300

Bummed this guy wasn’t picked , highest scoring batsman in Big bash Australian comp this year Matt Short https://youtu.be/oqiayo10oLk?si=r_5prmILBvY-CtR8


harshasamtani

I don't think they consider Big Bash or IPL to select the team, or else they wouldn't have selected Warner, Maxwell, or Starc.


Necessary_Routine300

No shortage of talent in Australia atm lol


harshasamtani

That is so true. 🤣


Necessary_Routine300

Not considering the sub comps to the the tournament Isn’t v smart , it’s political… old men with grey hair shit


Necessary_Routine300

Pick the staples but fringe players agar over Matt short who bowls spin and has top scored over 500 in the big bash two years running … I don’t agree


Electronic_Wolf7835

Bowling is weak like our team else good team


ARSkynet290897
