KKR star Chris Lynn and SRH’s Moises Henriques have been selected in the Australian squad.

Steve Smith will lead the Australian side with David Warner as a vice- captain. Also, KXIP captain Glen Maxwell finds his place in the squad.

Surprisingly, all-rounder James Faulkner has been dropped from the side.

Fast bowler James Pattinson will join Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins in the pace-heavy Australian side.

Trevor Hohns said, 

“

We have selected a very exciting well balanced squad that will give us plenty of options with both batting and bowling, depending on the conditions.

”

Those players that are in Australia will depart for England on May 18 with the remaining players in the IPL to join as their teams finish in the tournament.
