Aston Agar will take Swepson’s position
Mithcell Swepson, who was regular in the Australian T20 squad, is ruled out of the T20 World Cup in 2022. Australia already had Adam Zampa in their team.
Given that Zampa is their go-to spinner on any given wicket. They decided to bench Swepson to make room for Agar.
Aston can not only bowl four tight overs for Australia. But he also has the batting potential to hit sixes at the finish.
Tim David will represent Australia
The Singaporean-Australian cricketer, who has previously represented Singapore in 14 T20 internationals, will represent Australia in the World Cup.
Tim David will represent Australia at the World Cup as a free agent. This is because CA has not yet given him a full-time contract. The six-hitting machine is expected to make a sizable salary to compete in the World Cup.
Tim David was reared in Western Australia after being born in Singapore. He has already participated in 14 matches for Singapore. Recording an impressive strike rate of 158.5 and an average of 46.5. The Australian would anticipate Tim David hitting him with the same deadly force.
