Tim David news
All-rounder Tim David has been named in the squad of T20 World Cup while Aaron Finch will lead the side as Australia look to defend their T20 World Cup title on home turf.
Last year, the side won the tournament after defeating New Zealand in the summit clash.
Australia will travel to India for three T20 Internationals in September before returning home to play the West Indies and England leading into the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup which opens against New Zealand at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on October 22.
Singapore-born, Perth-raised Tim David has been included with leg spinner Mitchell Swepson missing out having been a part of the squad which won the T20 World Cup for the first time, beating New Zealand in the final, in Dubai last year.
T20 World Cup
Cricket Australia (CA) on Thursday announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Tim David has been included in Australia’s squad for their T20 World Cup title defence next month in a move that could represent a significant shift for the game.
“He is a highly gifted, natural ball-striker who will add extra batting depth to the group which has had a lot of success in T20 cricket,” national selector George Bailey said. “We expect him to play a similar role to that he has been playing in the past few years.”
He had been in line for a place in the T20I squad to face Sri Lanka last season, but after discussions with the selectors it was decided he would be allowed to take up his deal with Multan Sultans in the PSL where he was guaranteed game time, rather than the possibility of carrying drinks for Australia.
David finished the PSL with 278 runs at 39.71 and an eye-watering strike-rate of 194.40 which further cemented his standing as one of the best finishers in the world. While that tournament was ongoing, he earned a AU$1.5 million deal with Mumbai Indians in the IPL.
