With the T20 World Cup warm-up series to come, captain Aaron Finch and coach Andrew McDonald will try to build more confidence in the dressing room. Since Australian Cricket is known for making minor team changes, Andrew McDonald would like to experiment less with the players' selection rather than focusing on the current & confident side. The present scenario suggests a strong & competitive Australian side to head to the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, which begins for the Australian team on June 6, 2024, onward. The Aussies are known for outstanding performances in big events, which are reflected in the last World Cup.
