Cameron Green, who has shown how destructive he can be in the Indian Premier League, will be another player to watch. Not only with the bat, but Green can be a handy addition in terms of bowling too. Marcus Stoinis too falls under the same bracket. Apart from his batting his speed variation while bowling can prove to be crucial.
Adam Zampa in all likelihood will take charge of Australia's spin department. Zampa has been very effective for the Kangaroos in limited overs, and conditions in the sub-continent will further assist his ability.
