Australia became the first team to announce their full preliminary squad for the ODI World Cup 2023, which will start in India on the 5th of October and final will be played on 19th November. Surprisingly their initial squad did not include Marnus Labuschagne.
Australia is the most dominating side in ODI World Cups and the only side that is succeeded in winning four world cup trophies and playing eight world cup finals. Kangaroos always derive new strategies in each world cup that helped them win the world cup in all continents.
Their main strength is choosing their player list according to the conditions of the host country. We can sense this strategy after the announcement of the Australian team for the ODI World Cup 2023. They include two inexperienced players in the initial squad: leg spinner Tanveer Sangha and all-rounder Aaron Hardie. Tanveer Sangha is included due to his leg spin bowling, which will be helpful on Indian Pitches. On the other hand, Aaron Hardie will strengthen the team with his bat and medium pace fast bowling.
