Australia’s SWOT Analysis: Strength, Weakness, Opportunities & Threats

Strength: Powerful Batting Lineup & All-Rounders

The biggest strength of the Australian team is their batting lineup. The team has many such players who can put pressure on the bowlers of the opposing team by batting aggressively. Not only this, the list of all-rounders in the team is also very good.

Experienced all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has returned to the Kangaroo team. Not only this, Aaron Hardy has also performed very well in international cricket. Travis Head can be given the responsibility of opening while Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne will be seen playing an important role in batting.

Weakness: Lack of Experienced Fast Bowlers & Spin Attack

The most important thing with the Australian team is that their list of experienced fast bowlers is very weak. Apart from Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc will also not be seen participating in the upcoming tournament. Even though Australia has Spencer Johnson, Nathan Ellis and Sean Abbott, they will miss these bowlers.

Not only this, the team has only Adam Zampa as a spinner. Glenn Maxwell also bowls part-time spin, but on a pitch like Dubai, Australia should have included as many spinners as possible in the team.

Opportunities: Young Players Ready to Shine

Many young players will get a chance to show their talent in the upcoming tournament. Matthew Short, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Cooper Connolly, all three players have performed very well in domestic cricket and now they can be seen making their mark in international cricket.

Threats: Lack of Experience in Subcontinent Conditions

The biggest problem with the team is that many of their players are not experienced in playing international cricket. This is a good platform for many players where they can perform brilliantly in front of all the fans. Many players in the Australian team do not have much experience of playing in the subcontinent and this is the biggest concern for the team.
