Former champions Australia will undertake a “forensic review” of their disappointing ICC Men's T20 World Cup campaign after crashing out in the group stage of the event co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The 2021 champions failed to progress beyond the group stage for the first time since 2009, suffering defeats to Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe

Former champions Australia are set to conduct a "forensic review" of their disappointing T20 World Cup campaign after the injury-ravaged team crashed out in the group stage of the ongoing event being co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The 2021 champions exited after losing to Sri Lanka and minnows Zimbabwe.
They still have one match remaining against Oman in Pallekele on Friday, but that would be inconsequential. Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka have progressed to the Super Eights as Australia failed to get past the group stage for the first time since 2009. Selector Tony Dodemaide said a full review of the performance would be done once the players are back home.
