Australia are highly confident after winning the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against India. They will now be keen to extend their fantastic run by putting on better displays in their upcoming assignments.
As a skipper, Pat Cummins has already won the ODI World Cup and Test Championship. With the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 coming up, he will look to add one more feather to his throne. The Australian board has not yet announced the squad for the marquee event. Before they go ahead and reveal their set of players for the tournament, let us look at the probable squad of Australia for the Champions Trophy 2025.
Pat Cummins Back As The Captain
Pat Cummins and a few of the critical players in the side took a rest from the last couple of ODIs in the Pakistan series. However, with the ICC Champions Trophy coming up, Australia will surely hand the leadership responsibilities back to them.
Glenn Maxwell And Marcus Stoinis Back In The Mix
During the ODIs against Pakistan, Glenn Maxwell was injured. Besides him, Australia also rested Marcus Stoinis to give a go to their next gen of players. However, with a tournament as big as the ICC Champions Trophy coming up, there is no way that Australia will drop two of their biggest match-winners from their side.
No Jake Fraser-McGurk
The young Australian batter, Jake Fraser-McGurk, impressed a lot with his aggressive batting during the BBL. However, after his rise to international cricket, he has not stood up to the promise that he has showed. As a result of his not-so-strong displays, there is a high chance that Australia will not take Jake Fraser-McGurk as part of their squad.
