BENGALURU : Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell says he is "100 per cent ready" for their World Cup campaign after recovering from an ankle injury and is looking forward to their opening game against hosts India on Sunday.
The ODI World Cup 2023 is just around the corner and the fans are eager to witness the biggest cricket battle. All the ten teams are ready to give their best and fight for the coveted ICC trophy. Five-time champions Australia will be opening their World Cup campaign against hosts India on October 8 in Chennai. The Pat Cummins-led side had a tough year in terms of ODI cricket as they played 11 matches and lost six of them. However, they will now aim to deliver to strong performance in search of their sixth title. With the likes of David Warner, Steve smith, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, Australia are one of the top contenders of the trophy.
Although history has taught cricket fans never to write off Australia at a World Cup, sceptics of their chances of winning the trophy for a sixth time in India in November have more than a little ammunition to call on.
Australia will head into the 50-over World Cup in India with only one specialist spinner in Adam Zampa, but chief selector George Bailey said on Friday that all-rounder Glenn Maxwell could also be considered a frontline option.
The Cricket World Cup 2023 is just round the corner and the ten competing teams have officially submitted their final squads for the competition. India and Australia made late changes to their 15-member squads as Ravichandran Ashwin replaced the injured Axar Patel while Marnus Labuschagne was rewarded for his brilliant run of form in the recently concluded ODI series against India. The tournament will begin on October 5 with England taking on New Zealand. Hosts India will begin their campaign in the competition against Australia in Chennai on October 8.
Marnus Labuschagne has been drafted into Australia's Cricket World Cup squad with spinner Ashton Agar left out on Thursday after picking up a calf injury. Labuschagne comes into the squad in the one change to the provisional 15-man group announced by Australia earlier this month as Travis Head keeps his place despite being ruled out for the start of the tournament after breaking his hand. Five-time champions Australia will head to India with just one specialist spinner in Adam Zampa. Fellow leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha will stay with the squad until at least the end of the warm-up matches along with all-rounder Matt Short.
Marnus Labuschagne broke into Australia's 15-member squad for the 50-over World Cup in India at the last possible moment on Thursday on the back of his strong recent form while injured opener Travis Head was also included.
NEW DELHI : Glenn Maxwell stands out for his all-round abilities, but it is the 34-year-old's bowling form that is expected to provide a massive boost for Australia as they launch their bid for a sixth 50-overs World Cup title next month.
