"Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Tim David are tracking well, and we are confident they will be available for the World Cup," Bailey said.

"The T20 side has enjoyed a long run of recent success, which enabled the panel to choose a balance of players across the variety of conditions Sri Lanka and India may present," Bailey said. "This is a preliminary squad, so should changes need to be made, they will be made ahead of the support period."
