T20 World Cup 2026: 3 Australian bowlers to watch out for

Australia’s bowling attack is set to be their biggest strength in the T20 World Cup 2026 campaign as they head to spin-friendly conditions in India and Sri Lanka with a well-balanced, spin-heavy squad. 

Having picked bowlers who can deliver breakthroughs in different phases, the Aussies will be happy with the selection. While they have been dealing with some injury concerns, the management is optimistic of their return on time. If the bowlers execute their roles, Australia could once again be a serious title contender.

1. Josh Hazelwood

Ace seamer Josh Hazlewood is expected to be Australia’s best bowler at the T20 World Cup, especially in subcontinental conditions. The tall pacer has consistently delivered in India. His IPL performances have made him a lethal T20 bowler. After an injury-hit summer, Hazlewood is expected to return fresh, with a managed workload. He will be given the responsibility to lead the bowling attack, and he will hope to execute his plans perfectly.

2. Adam Zampa

Leg spinner Adam Zampa’s past success in subcontinental conditions makes him a big asset for Australia at the T20 World Cup. Across Asia, the leg-spinner has consistently picked wickets. Between 2016 and 2024, Zampa has taken 36 T20I wickets in the subcontinent at an average of 13.69 and a strike rate of 13. With experience from IPL and bilateral tours, Zampa’s skillset are expected to play a crucial role in Australia’s World Cup campaign.

3. Nathan Ellis

Fast bowler Nathan Ellis will be sharing the new ball and death for the Aussies in the marquee event. The Hobart Hurricanes skipper has been in good touch, picking 14 wickets in nine BBL matches. Ellis’ ability to swing the new ball and execute yorkers, slower balls and cutters at the back end makes him a solid option in subcontinental conditions. Although a recent hamstring injury cut short his BBL campaign, Australia are confident he will be fit in time.
