Australia has announced its playing XI for the WTC final, in which Marnas Labushen has got a chance to open. The trio of fast bowling under the leadership of captain Pat Cummins is also fully prepared, but Scott Bolland did not get a place in the team even after a spectacular performance.
Australia announced its playing XI for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final on Tuesday 10 June. This time the team has got the responsibility of opening in the team, who will bat with Uzman Khwaja. Cameron Green has been given that place by removing Marnas from number 3. Cameron will return to the Green and handle this important batting position. It has confirmed it by the Cricket Board itself.
Steve Smith and Travis Head will bat at number 4 and 5 respectively in the team, while the young all -rounder Beau is holding their place on webster number 6. The role of wicketkeeper has been assigned to Alex Kerry this time, while Josh English, who recently scored a century against Sri Lanka, has been ignored.
Captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and IPL 2025 champions Josh Hazlewood have been selected for fast bowling in the bowling attack. Nathan Lion will play the role of a spinner alone. The biggest shocking decision was to exclude Scott Bolland, who took 10 wickets in the last match but this time did not get a place in the team. Also, young players Sam Custus are not in the team.
This playing XI of Australia will field against South Africa in the WTC final starting tomorrow i.e. June 11, and the team will be hopeful that they will succeed in winning the WTC title for the second time.
Australia’s playing-11: Usman Khwaja, Marnas Labushen, Cameron Green, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Beau Webster, Alex Carrie (wicketkeeper), Pat Cummins (Capnins), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lion, Josh Hazlewood.
