Australia Name Short, Hardie In Preliminary Squad For Champions Trophy
Allrounders Matt Short: Allrounders Matt Short and Aaron Hardie have been named in Australia's 15-man preliminary squad for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, set to commence on February 19 across Pakistan and the UAE.
Josh Hazlewood and skipper Pat Cummins, who were not included in the Australia’s squad for Sri Lanka tour have also been named while wicketkeeper batter Alex Carey has retained his position.
Matt Short, who has been in impressive form in the Big Bash League (BBL), and Aaron Hardie, a promising pace-bowling all-rounder, are the standout inclusions. Short has cemented his place as an opening batter since David Warner’s retirement, playing nine of Australia’s 11 ODIs during this period. Hardie, returning from a quad issue, offers depth in both batting and bowling.
