Warner’s swansong leaves Australia’s great hope stranded

Australia has announced their 15-man squad for this year’s T20 World Cup, with some surprise selections made by George Bailey and the panel.

The hottest young star in the country, Jake Fraser-McGurk, has been overlooked despite an impressive home summer and strong performances in the IPL.

Steve Smith has also been snubbed, with the former Test skipper not rated among the top batsman in the shortest format.

David Warner will get a final swansong in the national side as he prepares for his final World Cup, while all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has been recalled.

Mitchell Marsh has been unveiled as the captain of the T20 side after an incredible career revival over the past two years.

Let’s take a look through the full Aussie squad for the tournament, which kicks off in June in the West Indies and USA.
