England cricket team star Jos Buttler picked his dream five-a-side ODI team and just one Indian cricket team batter was able to make the cut. Buttler did not include Virat Kohli but instead went with the India skipper Virat Kohli. When it comes to the batters, Buttler included South Africa's Quinton De Kock along with Rohit and picked Australia's Glenn Maxwell as the all-rounder option. In the bowling department, he went for South Africa pacer Andrich Nortje and his England teammate Adil Rashid.
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.
