Delhi: The Australian cricket team has suffered another setback due to injuries. After the injury of Brendon Dogt, fast bowler Sean Abbot has been included in his place. This change was made on 15 June (Sunday). Abbot has also played for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Earlier, star batsman Steve Smith has already been out of the opening match of the Test series against the West Indies due to injury.
Dogate was included in the team for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 final, but due to a slight injury, he was out of the entire West Indies series. He took 11 wickets in the 2024/25 Sheffield Shield Shield final, performing 11 wickets for South Australia, causing him to see the selectors.
At the same time, Abbots have been constantly touring with the Australian team for the last one year. The right -handed pace had also visited India and Sri Lanka, but did not get a chance to play. However, this time also his play is not guaranteed, as options like Scott Bolland and left -handed spinner Matt Kuanman are already present.
The first match of the three matches of three matches between West Indies and Australia will be played in Barbados from 25 June. Now it will be interesting to see whether Abbot gets a chance in Australia’s playing XI. Recently, Australia lost by 5 wickets in the final of the ICC World Test Championship played against South Africa at Lord’s.
