Australia veteran wk batter Matthew Wade admitted that there are going to be some unlucky players on his side to miss the selection for this year's ICC Men's T20 world cup in USA and Caribbean. Some impressive performances against New Zealand means Australian selectors have plenty to think when choosing their 15-player squad for this year's ICC event, T20 world cup.

Australia finalised their preparations for June's tournament with a 3 - nil whitewash over New Zealand on Sunday and some strong performances from a host of fringe players mean selectors will have a difficult time on settling on their 15-player squad for the 20-over showcase in the USA and Caribbean.

Wade believes having so many players in good form just months out from the start of the T20 World Cup was a major advantage for the 2021 champions.

"It's going to be tight for those last few spots, I don't envy George's (chief selector George Bailey) position," - Wade said.

"I wouldn't want to be picking the 15, there's going to be a couple of unlucky players.
"But as I said there's always injury around,  guys that are outside the 15 may get opportunities as well so we're happy we've got so much depth." - Matthew Wade.

"Heady's got the X-factor, you saw in the 50-over World Cup, he can turn games so quickly and we're exciting to have him at the top of the order along with Davey (Warner) who's going to be there," - Wade said.

"And then we can load up with Stoinis and David and Maxwell, and all these guys with extreme power.

"It's an exciting time to be in the T20 squad, and I can't wait to get started at the World Cup to be honest." - he added.

"It's going to be tough to squeeze in that 15, whoever you are," - Wade said.

"Obviously Smithy hasn't played a heap of T20 cricket in the last little bit for Australia, and there will be chats around those final few positions in the 15.

"Fingers crossed he makes it, but there's always going to be someone that's unlucky and I'm not sure who that's going to be this time."
