New Delhi. How big criteria have become for World cricket of IPL, you can guess not only by watching Team India, but by looking at the teams of other countries. A few hours after the IPL 2025 ended, Cricket Australia announced their team for the upcoming T20 series against the West Indies on Wednesday. The special thing is that some league stars were not included in the team. The DC’s Jake Fraser-Macagark, who is running in poor form, has been dropped from the team. Michelle Owen and Matt Kuhnemann were preferred in his place.
If we look at the Australian team, one thing will be clearly visible that the players who failed in the IPL were sidelined from the team, while those who performed well in this tournament either saved their place or managed to return to the team again. One of them is Josh Hazlewood, the biggest hunter of this season 18.
Josh returns to Hazlewood T20
Josh Hazlewood, who played a big role in winning the first IPL title to RCB, has returned to Australia’s T20 team, the interesting thing is that Cameron Green, who is considered very talented, also managed to return to the team. Hazlewood performed brilliantly for RCB and helped the team win the title with 22 wickets. The series against the West Indies will begin on 19 July. Chairman of the selectors George Bailey said, “Our T20 program will be very busy during this series, followed by three matches against South Africa and New Zealand and five matches against India. He said, “The connections, role development and combination options we will have, moving towards the World Cup, are developing well. This is an exciting time in our T20 space.
Rail missed if failed in IPL
The list of Australian players failing in IPL 2025 is very long. PBKS players Xavier Bartlett and Marcus Stoinis were also not included in the team, while Maxwell managed to save her place in the team. As far as McGark, who is playing for Delhi, has scored only one half -century in the last seven matches and could not score 20 runs in the remaining matches. On the other hand, Owen was the highest run -scorer at BBL, scoring 452 runs in 11 innings at an average of 45.20. In the final, he scored a century from just 42 balls and gave Hobart Harikens the title. Mitchell Marsh will lead the team, who performed brilliantly in the IPL for LSG, where he scored 627 runs in 13 matches. Glenn Maxwell and injured Tim David, who performed poorly in the tournament, have also got a chance, who did not play in the finals.
