Australia enter the 2015 Cricket World Cup as one of the favorites, if not the favorite. Co-hosting with New Zealand, Australia will be ready to remind the world of cricket just how dominant  of a game the Aussies can play.

In addition to Australia, Group A includes Afghanistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, England, Scotland and Bangladesh. Michael Clarke will be the team’s captain.

When it comes to team world cup experience, however, Australia isn’t as high on the list. Michael Clarke leads the way with 18 matches (No. 9 in top 10 of most experience players in this year’s tournament). Still, with Clarke and of course, Shane Watson, Australia has enough experience and depth overall to be the last ones standing.

Australia’s biggest foe in the tournament just may be India, who will be looking for a third World Cup.

This is a list of the Australian squad for the 2015 Cricket World Cup to be held from February 14 to March 29, 2015.

  • George Bailey
  • Michael Clarke (capt)
  • Patrick Cummins
  • Xavier Doherty
  • James Faulkner
  • Aaron Finch
  • Brad Haddin (wk)
  • Josh Hazlewood
  • Mitchell Johnson
  • Mitchell Marsh
  • Glenn Maxwell
  • Steve Smith
  • Mitchell Starc
  • David Warner
  • Shane Watson

According to BBC Sport, “teams were required to name a 30-man provisional squad before finalising a 15-strong squad for the competition by 7 January. Injured players can only be replaced with special dispensation from the International Cricket Council.”
