After the IPL 2023, the next big event will be the World Test Championship Finals. The match will happen at the Lord’s. India and Australia would take on each other. Australia recently announced the squad for the important game. On that note, here, we take a look at how Twitter reacted as Australia announced the squad for the WTC finals 2023 against India.
Australia announces the squad for the WTC finals 2023 against India
Australia is one of the best Test Teams at the moment. The team topped the WTC Table to make it to the finals, despite suffering a loss recently against India. Nevertheless, Australia would still be the favourite to win the trophy. Here is a look at the squad, which will also be in action for the first two Ashes Tests:
World Test Championship Final and Men’s Ashes squad for first two Tests: Pat Cummins (C), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Todd Murphy, Matthew Renshaw, Steve Smith (VC), Mitchell Starc, David Warner.
The highlight of this squad is the pace attack. Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are a dangerous trio and will trouble the Indian batters. Mitchell Marsh earned a return to the Test setup, which also includes the likes of Marcus Harris and Josh Inglis. It appears that David Warner may not get a lot of chances if he fails in WTC Finals. The likes of Marcus Harris are available and hence, the veteran will have to be careful.
Twitter reacts to the announcement
Australia has a top squad and is also in good form. Many on the internet commented about the squad and even predicted the playing XI. Here is a look at some of the reactions after the announcement was made by the management:

Seems like Handscomb was selected for the BGT. Guy played some handy knocks in the middle order for Australia.
