The 36-year-old wicketkeeper-batter is likely to replace Mitchell Marsh. His experience and ongoing form make him the biggest contender. In the ongoing domestic tournament in Australia, Wade has been phenomenal with the bat. He has scored 226 runs at an average of 45.20 in six innings. He has smashed one century and a half in the ongoing tournament.
Additionally, he is set to lead Australia’s 15-member T20I squad against India after the ODI World Cup. All these factors might force the George Bailey-led selection committee to include him in Australia’s World Cup squad to replace Mitchell Marsh. However, he also comes with no bowling option, which might force team management to play him in the top order.
