ICC Champions Trophy: Australia have suffered another blow ahead of the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy as the experienced pacer Mitchell Starc has withdrawn from the tournament, citing personal reasons.

The Aussies finalised their 15-player squad for the eight-team event on Wednesday with veteran batter Steven Smith captaining the side.

The loss of Starc means five new players have been added in Australian squad, with Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Spencer Johnson and Tanveer Sangha all included in the playing group for the tournament. Cooper Connolly will be a traveling reserve.
