Australia has announced its preliminary 15-man squad for the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025, scheduled to commence on February 19 in Pakistan. Pat Cummins has been named captain, despite concerns about his availability due to an ankle injury sustained during the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India.
The Australian squad for Champions Trophy 2025 includes all-rounders Matt Short and Aaron Hardie, both earning their maiden call-ups for an ICC event. Fast bowler Nathan Ellis has also been selected, rewarded for his impressive performances in the Big Bash League with the Hobart Hurricanes.
Notably absent from the squad is young opener Jake Fraser-McGurk, who was omitted following a series of underwhelming performances in the Big Bash League. Additionally, Cameron Green is unavailable as he continues his recovery from back surgery.
Australia is placed in Group B alongside Afghanistan, England, and South Africa. Their group stage fixtures are scheduled as follows:
The tournament allows participating teams to make changes to their squads up to a week before the event begins. Any alterations during the tournament will require ICC approval.
Australia, having previously won the Champions Trophy in 2006 and 2009, will be aiming to secure their third title in the 2025 edition.
