Australia recently revealed its 15-man provisional squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, and it came with some surprises. Notably, veteran batter Steve Smith was omitted from the squad for the first time since 2012, raising eyebrows among fans and experts alike. Equally surprising was the exclusion of the 'really exciting' young talent, Jake Fraser-McGurk, despite glowing praise from chairman of selectors George Bailey.

Among the selected players are key names like Mitchell Marsh, Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, and Tim David, who are set to lead the charge for Australia at the tournament. The squad represents a mix of experience and emerging talent, with selectors opting for a balance to take on the challenge of the T20 World Cup.

In a bold move, Australia also unveiled a new all-green playing kit for the T20 World Cup, marking the Mitch Marsh era with a striking change in the team's attire. The introduction of this unique kit adds an element of freshness and anticipation as the team gears up for the tournament.

As the excitement builds for the T20 World Cup, fans await the performance of star players like Mitchell Starc, who has been selected in the squad. With a mix of established names and rising stars, Australia's squad promises an engaging and competitive campaign in the upcoming tournament.
