The Australian team is in big trouble before the T20 World Cup. Its difficulty is also different. But at this point the question arises why this would have happened. Before the T20 World Cup, Australia has to play 2 warm-up matches in the next 4 days but they have only 9 players available and this is all because of the IPL. According to media reports, the Australian team has to play 2 practice matches against Namibia on Wednesday and West Indies on Friday, for which it has only 9 players, including captain Mitchell Marsh, who will not play the first warm-up match. So in this situation, Australia has only 8 players available and now they have to field their support staff members who are around 50 years old.
Australia in trouble
Many Australian players were playing in the IPL and have not yet joined the team. According to ICC rules, the players playing in the practice match should also be from the same country, so now Australia will have to field its support staff i.e. head coach Andrew McDonald, Brad Hodge, George Bailey and Andre Borovec. Brad Hodge is 49 years old.
Why is this happening?
It is difficult to find the answer to this question but actually IPL players Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Mitchell Starc, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell have been given rest. Cricket Australia has taken this decision to withdraw from IPL. This decision of the board has now become a problem for the team. The big news is that Australian captain Mitchell Marsh is also not fit. He suffered a leg muscle injury during the IPL and has not been on the field since then. Australia does not want to take any risk by giving Marsh a chance in the practice match.
