Australia Names Squad for WTC Final vs South Africa

Australia has named a strong 15-member squad for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final against South Africa, scheduled at Lord's from June 11. All-rounder Cameron Green returns after recovering from a serious back injury, rejoining captain Pat Cummins and pacer Josh Hazlewood. Young opener Sam Konstas and spinner Matt Kuhnemann are also included, with the squad largely unchanged from recent successful series against India and Sri Lanka. Australia is aiming to become the first team to win back-to-back WTC titles, while South Africa is making its debut in the final. Selection chair George Bailey has expressed confidence in the squad's balance and readiness following a consistent qualifying cycle. The same squad will also be used for the subsequent three-match Test series in the Caribbean.
