Finch said the absentees are in genuine danger of missing out on the showpiece event in October-November as others stake their claims.
Australia limited-overs skipper Aaron Finch on Friday said several short-format players have a “very realistic” chance of being overlooked for T20 World Cup selection after opting out of the upcoming tours of West Indies and Bangladesh. Seven cricketers — David Warner, Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell, Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson, Marcus Stoinis and Daniel Sams — who recently played in the IPL have pulled out of the twin tours while Steve Smith has been rested to fully recover from an elbow complaint which flared during the BCCI’s high-profile T20 tournament. Finch said the absentees are in genuine danger of missing out on the showpiece event in October-November as others stake their claims.
