Cricket Australia will not disclose its list of 30 probables for the
Champions Trophy in England this June, breaking the norm followed by all
countries ahead of ICC tournaments. It is understood that CA approached
the ICC for clarification over the rules about squad announcement and
then requested that the 30-man squad, which will be pruned to 15 in a
month's time, not be made public.
"Custom and practice is that countries announce their provisional squads
60 days before the first ball is scheduled to be bowled in the
tournament," an ICC spokesperson said. "But this isn't compulsory."
Pakistan have already released their list of 30 probables, and other
countries are expected to do so by the end of the week. Australia have
been grouped with England, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, and play their
first game on June 8, against the hosts.
