Australia on Thursday announced 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup including 3 reserves. Uncapped wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Inglis has been named in the squad as backup to senior Mathew Wade.
“Awesome to see Inglis get his opportunity in the squad, he’s been scoring runs for fun, and if Ellis is called on it’s a great story for how far he’s come since moving to Tassie. Overall it’s a brilliant squad of players that I think are capable of winning the World Cup,” tweeted Ponting.
