T20 World Cup 2024: There are only a few days left for the T20 World Cup 2024 to begin. Teams are playing practice matches to finalize their preparations before this mega event. In this sequence, a surprising news is coming from the Australian camp, where the coach and selectors had to come on the field for fielding due to the team not having 11 players complete against Namibia. Let us give you detailed information about this news.

players were not available

Actually, many players included in Australia's T20 World Cup 2024 squad were busy playing IPL 2024 for 2 months. In such a situation, the board has decided to give them a break before the World Cup. Many big players like Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Mitchell Starc, Cameron Green, Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell are resting.

This is the reason why only 9 players were available in the practice match against Namibia on Tuesday. After this, four members of the support staff including chief selector George Bailey and head coach Andrew McDonald had to take the field.

Despite not having all the players available, Australia easily defeated Namibia in the practice match. The Kangaroos, bowling first, restricted Namibia to 119/9 in 20 overs and then scored 123/3 in just 10 overs to register an easy win. Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa bowled brilliantly for Australia. At the same time, David Warner made a blast while batting and showed that he is fully prepared for the T20 World Cup 2024.
