The 2023 Cricket World Cup is fast approaching, and while many of the stars from the 2019 tournament will be back, there will also be a few notable absentees. Here are five Australian cricketers who won’t be at the 2023 World Cup after playing in 2019:
Aaron Finch – From Captain to Retirement
Aaron Finch was the captain of the Australian team that won the 2019 World Cup, and he was one of the key players in their success. However, he has since retired from international cricket, and he will not be at the 2023 tournament.
Usman Khawaja – A Fading Star
Usman Khawaja was another key player in the Australian team’s 2019 World Cup victory. He scored 381 runs in the tournament, and he was named the Player of the Match in the final against New Zealand. However, he has been out of form in recent months, and he has not been included in the Australian squad for the 2023 World Cup.
Shaun Marsh – Veteran Farewell
Shaun Marsh was a veteran player in the Australian team that won the 2019 World Cup. He scored 363 runs in the tournament, and he was a valuable member of the team. However, he retired from international cricket in 2019, and he will not be at the 2023 tournament.
Peter Handscomb – The Unsung Hero
Peter Handscomb was a backup player in the Australian team that won the 2019 World Cup. He only played two matches in the tournament, but he was a valuable member of the squad. However, he has not been included in the Australian squad for the 2023 World Cup.
Nathan Coulter-Nile – Battling Injuries
