However, that has happened so far. His form is the main reason. Matthew Short provides more solidity in this regard.

Sean Abbott is one of the players unlucky to miss out on Australia’s ICC 2025 Champions Trophy squad. Whenever the main trio is unavailable, he has done well to keep his place.

However, the bowling all-rounder misses out yet again. Nathan Ellis will now be the backup for the frontline Aussie trio at the event.

3) Cooper Connolly

Considering his form in the ongoing BBL, Cooper Connolly might have fancied a chance in the upcoming ICC event for Australia.

The Aussies might have needed a left-arm spin option along with Adam Zampa. However, they have gone ahead with Glenn Maxwell as the second spin choice.
