Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood will miss the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in Sri Lanka and India. Hazlewood suffered a hamstring injury in the final Sheffield Shield game, Australia's domestic red ball competition, before the start of the Ashes. Sean Abbott travelled with the squad from Pakistan after their recent 3-0 series loss and is a replacement option. Australia’s warm-up match against the Netherlands was abandoned on Thursday but they still have a six-day preparation window before the first group game against Ireland. Australia: Mitchell Marsh (c), Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly, Tim David, Ben Dwarshuis, Cameron Green, Nathan Ellis, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Matthew Kuhnemann, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Renshaw, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa
