Australia have won all the major ICC titles in recent times and have a habit of winning these marquee tournaments for fun. They have won the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 and are strong contenders for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
Mitchell Marsh will be leading the Australian side for their quest for their 2nd ICC T20 World Cup Trophy. Notably, the Ozzies had won the title for the first time in 2021 when the tournament took place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Australia are slotted in Group B and will be playing against England, Namibia, Oman and Scotland in the group-stage.
In this article, we take a look at the top 3 players to watch out for in the Australian squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024:
1. Mitchell Starc
Despite not being able to perform at his usual best in the starting of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mitchell Starc has staged a comeback and is now creating an impact which he has always created.
The Player of the Tournament in the ICC ODI World Cup 2015, Mitchell Starc would be confident of performing well for his nation in West Indies and USA. Starc has bagged 74 wickets in 60 T20Is so far.
2. Mitchell Marsh
The captain of the side, Mitchell Marsh will be a key player to watch out for in the Australian squad for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024. He was the player of the series in Australia’s last T20I series versus New Zealand in February 2024 and had scored 98 runs in the series.
Marsh also took 2 wickets and left a mark in the series between the Trans-Tasman rivals. He will be hoping to lead the troops with perfection.
3. Travis Head
Undoubtedly a game-changed by his own means, Travis Head is a gun opener who has the ability to transform a T20 game. In the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have revolutionized T20 batting and are going all guns blazing in the powerplay itself for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
We expect that Head adopts a similar approach in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and would be hoping to give his team, fiery starts. Notably, Head had struck centuries in the finals of the WTC 2023 and the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and is a big-occasion player.
