Australia chief selector George Bailey has said the T20I careers of Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis and Steven Smith are not over despite the experienced trio being left out of Australia’s squad for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh.
Bailey revealed that Cummins, who was rested for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Pakistan, will not feature in Australia’s first World Cup game.
Cummins has been named in Australia’s provisional World Cup squad alongside fellow quick Josh Hazlewood and big-hitting batter Tim David, with all three included subject to proving their fitness.
Bailey clarified that Wade is not retired and could still be considered for a return, but expressed excitement about giving Inglis an opportunity.
Bailey said he was looking forward to the new role and an exciting period ahead for the Australian men's side with the ICC T20 World Cup
George Bailey, 3, has played five Tests, 90 one-day internationals and 30 Twenty20s for Australia and has also been a stalwart for Tasmania.
Bailey will not be the first player to act as a national selector, with captains such as Don Bradman and most recently Michael Clarke having held the post while leading the national team.
Meanwhile, TV coverage of the match made no mention of the protest. Global T20 Canada made a statement via their Twitter account at 12:40 pm local time without making any mention of the protest.
