    T20 World Cup: Australia Are One Of The Most Dangerous Teams In Modern Cricket, Says Ian Bishop

    By IANS News February 05, 2026 • 16:58 PM View: 445
    T20 World Cup: Australia head into the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup as one of the teams to beat, with former players and experts highlighting their depth, leadership, and fearsome batting power as major strengths ahead of the tournament, and former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop believes that the 2021 champions are ‘one of the most dangerous’ sides.

    The defending champions, eyeing a second T20 World Cup title, will begin their campaign with a warm-up match against the Netherlands before facing Ireland in their opening group fixture in Colombo. Despite a sense of transition within the squad, confidence around the Australian setup remains high.

    Former Australian cricketer Mel Jones shed light on the changing face of the team, acknowledging that new names may take time to resonate with fans but are part of a carefully planned evolution. "There is a transition. New names in the squad, like Ben Dwarshuis and Xavier Bartlett, are not yet household names, unlike stars like Steve Smith and David Warner. For fans, it feels sudden. Others, like Nathan Ellis, have waited a long time for this chance,” she said on JioHotstar.
