Ashton Agar and Cameron Green made the cut despite not playing T20Is for nearly 18 months. Nathan Ellis, known for his skills in the death overs, joins the pace trio of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood in the squad. Matthew Wade and Josh Inglis have been chosen as the two wicketkeepers.

Marsh expressed hope for success in what seems to be a competitive tournament. The Australian team is set to travel to the Caribbean in late May and will kick off their World Cup campaign against Oman, followed by matches against England, Namibia, and Scotland.
