Australia announces ICC World Cup 2023 squad

Young legspinner Tanveer Sangha has missed out on Australia's provisional 15-men ICC World Cup 2023 squad after an impressive debut in South Africa. Sangha took five wickets across his first two T20Is during Australia's 3-0 sweep of the Proteas but selectors have decided to take only two specialist spinners - Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar.
