Australia faces rebuild after T20 World Cup flop
Australia's group-stage exit from the T20 World Cup stands as one of the most calamitous campaigns in the team’s limited-overs history and a rebuild looms for the former white-ball titan.Having entered the global showpiece with injuries, players out of form and scant preparations, Mitchell Marsh's team was embarrassed by Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka before a washed-out match sealed its elimination on Tuesday.Once respected for its big-tournament prowess, the 2021 champion and six-time 50-over World Cup winner appeared bereft without the leadership and bowling quality of its big three pacemen, with Mitchell Starc retired from T20 internationals and Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood sidelined with injuries.
