The Australia cricket team became the first team to announce their preliminary Squad for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023, which is going to take place in India. Cricket Australia took to Twitter to release the list of their 18-member squad. These selected players will also take part in the South Africa and India assignments that have been scheduled to take place before the mega event starts. The players who have not been selected believe that among them, the biggest name is Marnus Labuschagne. The batsman has played in 30 of Australia's 38 matches since his debut in January 2020, with an average of 31.37.
