Marnus Labuschagne axed by selectors with rising stars Aaron Hardie and Tanveer Sangha included in extended 18-man ODI World Cup squad
Marnus Labuschagne’s World Cup dream has been shattered after being dropped from Australia’s one-day side, while uncapped leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha and WA allrounder Aaron Hardie have bolted into the mix for the tournament to be played in India later this year.
Cricket Australia today named an extended 18-man squad for the ODI World Cup that will later be trimmed to 15, with a five-match series in South Africa in September as the first assignment.
Selectors also named a new-look T20 squad with a strong Big Bash flavour for three matches in South Africa before the ODI World Cup build-up begins, with big names rested from the shortest format ahead of a gruelling one-day campaign.
Labuschagne is the most notable omission from the 50-over squad having played 30 of Australia’s 38 matches since his debut in January 2020, with an average of 31.37.
