The Aussies have named a spin-heavy group, with Adam Zampa joined by Matthew Kuhnemann, Cooper Connolly and all-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Matthew Short.<\/p>\n
Australian chair of selectors George Bailey says the panel had the luxury of focusing on a player group likely to handle conditions in India and Sri Lanka with aplomb, though several players come into the group under a fitness cloud.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe T20 side has enjoyed a long run of recent success which enabled the panel to choose a balance of players across the variety of conditions Sri Lanka and India may present,” Bailey said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Tim David are tracking well and we are confident they will be available for the World Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a preliminary squad so should changes need to be made they will ahead of the support period.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Aussies have named a spin-heavy group, with Adam Zampa joined by Matthew Kuhnemann, Cooper Connolly and all-rounders…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":345758,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,67813,67811,16326,67828,103095,67833,67814,6518,67832,103093,67815,67810,103098,101,103094,103096,67812,56,54,55,103097],"class_list":["post-345757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-cricket-breaking-news","tag-cricket-headlines-today","tag-cricket-news","tag-cricket-series-updates","tag-cricket-world-cup-headlines","tag-cricket-world-cup-news","tag-cricket-world-news","tag-icc","tag-icc-cricket-updates","tag-icc-mens-t20-world-cup-news","tag-international-cricket-news","tag-latest-cricket-news","tag-latest-icc-announcements","tag-sports","tag-t20-world-cup-news-updates","tag-today-cricket-match-news","tag-today-cricket-news-update","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-world-cup-cricket-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=345757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/345758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=345757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=345757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=345757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
