Teen star Kuol in Australia World Cup squad, Rogic misses out

Garang Kuol (C) is in the Australian squad for the World Cup.

Newcastle United-bound teenager Garang Kuol was included Tuesday in Australia's squad for the World Cup this month, but midfielder Tom Rogic missed out.

Japan-based striker Adam Taggart, who has scored six goals in 16 Socceroos appearances, was another surprise omission despite being a stalwart of their qualifying campaign.

That opened the door for former Scotland international Jason Cummings, who has dual nationality, to add to his single Australian cap.

Central Coast Mariners forward Kuol, who will make the switch to the Premier League in January, made his international debut against New Zealand in September.
