Cricket Australia’s list of nationally contracted players lost two players on Thursday: wicketkeeper Matthew Wade and out-of-favor opener Marcus Harris. Josh Inglis, on the other hand, emerged as a winner. Additionally, Moises Henriques, Ben McDermott, and Jhye Richardson were left out of the list. Former Test players James Pattinson and Tim Paine, both of whom have since retired, were also conspicuously absent. After a sexting incident, Paine has taken an indefinite hiatus from the game.
It was the maximum permissible number of players in the group that formed the core of Australia’s international teams. If you didn’t get a chance to apply, you can still represent Australia.
An important acquisition for 2022-23 was dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman Inglis, while other crucial players such as Scott Boland, Mitchell Swepson, Usman Khawaja, and Marcus Stoinis were able to keep their spots after signing new contracts last season.
It is our belief that this group provides us with a wide range of options in all formats, while others, as we have seen in the past, will continue to get a chance to shine.
“The amount of critical series plus the future T20 and one-day World Cups necessitated the selection of just 20 players, which was a challenge.”
The players who did not make the cut By accumulating 12 “upgrade points” over the year, Thursday can still secure a full contract. A Test match is worth five points, an ODI two points, and a T20 one point, respectively.
Ashton Agar, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Aaron Finch, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Swepson, David Warner, and Adam Zampa are among the Australians who have signed contracts to play in the World Cup.
