Australia’s tour of South Africa will begin on August 30. In this tour, the Kangaroo team has to play a series of 3 T20 Internationals and 5 ODI matches. This tour of the Australia team will end on September 17. However, there have been major headaches for the team before this. Australia is somewhat sleepy ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India as four big players, including the captain, are out of the squad.
In fact, the Australian team is currently on a tour of South Africa. Team captain Pat Cummins, vice-captain Steve Smith, fast bowler Mitchell Starc and all-rounder Glenn Maxwell are not. These players have been out of the team due to different types of injuries. Thus it is essential for Australia to get these players fully fit before the World Cup. This is a headache for the Australian team, as these four players are always in the playing XI.
However, all four players are likely to return to the squad when the team plays the three-match ODI series against India. The series will be played only in India and will be the last chance for both the teams to prepare for the World Cup 2023. However, the question is that most of the players have claimed that they will be fit for the series against India, but what will happen to the team if not?
Wasim Akram predicts Asia Cup 2023, calling these three teams dangerous
Pat Cummins is currently suffering from a wrist injury, while Steve Smith is also down with a wrist injury. Meanwhile, Mitchell Starc has a shoulder problem, while all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has an ankle injury and is out of the squad. All these players have been included in the preliminary squad for the 2023 World Cup. If these players are not fit in time, it will be difficult for Australia to reach the semi-finals.
