Selector Shawn Flegler expressed confidence that this group is ready for the challenge.
“A World Cup in India is one of cricket’s biggest assignments, but we believe this group is up for the challenge. The valuable experience the squad has gained from several sub-continent tours in recent years, as well as exposure through the Women’s Premier League will be beneficial in tackling the unique demands of Indian conditions,” he said.

He also praised the team’s preparation across formats and competitions.
“Across the winter we’ve seen some terrific performances right through the group - whether that be through the Australia A series, The Hundred or domestic cricket in England - with players personalising their preparations which looks to have put them in good stead. The extended nature of an ODI World Cup can be a challenge, and we believe this group has the depth and versatility to meet those demands,” Flegler concluded.
Australia will begin their World Cup campaign on October 1 in Indore against New Zealand.
