Australia's Quest for History: Full schedule and squad for the Kangaroos in T20 World Cup

Australia are entering the T20 World Cup 2024 high on confidence after their incredible 2023 season which saw them win the World Test Championship and the ODI World Cup 2023. Despite only fielding nine players in their first warm up game against Namibia, the Kangaroos emerged victorious by seven wickets and with ease. 

Riding into the T20 World Cup, Australia are definitely the team to beat in the tournament. Led by new skipper for T20s Mitchell Marsh, the Australian side is searching for its record extending 11th ICC trophy and their second T20 World Cup crown.

If Australia do end up winning the tournament, they will create history as they will become the first team to ever hold the T20 World Cup, the ODI World Cup and the World Test Championship at the same time.
