The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is a couple of weeks away from kicking off. The marquee tournament is expected to grab the attention of global cricket fans due to cricket fever. As the top eight teams in international cricket gear up to take part in the tournament, the fans expect Australia to present a tough challenge to the other teams.

Australian batters are known for their never-give-up attitudes and the ability to change the complexion of a game at any stage. During the Champions Trophy, the six-time world champions will depend greatly on their batters. But in this article, we will take a look at three players who can perform consistently and take the team to the trophy.

3. Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell is an impactful batter in the middle-order of the Australian team. The spin-bowling all-rounder played a key role during Australia's World Cup-winning run in 2023. It was a once-in-a-lifetime knock by Maxwell, where he scored a double hundred against Afghanistan and saved the team's campaign. That innings showed that he is a big match player and knows how to turn around a game from an impossible stage.

The big-hitting batter has been struggling for form since the IPL 2025. However, much to the Australian team management's relief, Maxwell regained his form during the latest edition of the BBL and could be a huge factor for the team during the Champions Trophy 2025. 

2. Travis Head

The Australian left-handed batter left his impact during the ODI World Cup 2023. Travis Head has repeatedly proven himself as a player in the important stages for the Australian team.

Once again, the Australian team will be depending on him for some solid and dynamic starts. If Head can play his role at the top, Australia will look like a stronger side that can take down any team in their campaign.

He has recently been in good touch during the latest edition of the BBL, and a lot depends on him regarding the strength of the Australian batting.
