Darcie Brown has been left out of Australia’s T20 World Cup squad, while Grace Harris has returned to the fold
Lucy Hamilton will feature in her first T20 World Cup after squeezing out fellow fast bowler Darcie Brown for a place in Australia’s squad for the coming tournament in England and Wales.
Australia have revealed a settled 15-player squad for the tournament starting June 12, led by captain Sophie Molineux alongside deputies Ashleigh Gardner and Tahlia McGrath.
Australia’s T20 World Cup squad: Sophie Molineux (c), Ashleigh Gardner (vc), Tahlia McGrath (vc), Nicola Carey, Kim Garth, Lucy Hamilton, Grace Harris, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Voll, Georgia Wareham. Travelling reserve: Tahlia Wilson
Powerful batter Grace Harris, who also offers a bowling option with her off-spin, has made her return to the international fold after being left out of the T20I squad that travelled to the Caribbean in March, while Annabel Sutherland is also back having been rested for that tour.
Left-arm quick Hamilton, who turned 20 last week, impressed as she made her debut across all three formats in March, doing enough to claim a spot in the squad ahead of South Australia’s Brown, who went wicketless across three white-ball matches on the West Indies tour.
