Smith, Warner recalled for Australia's World Cup defence

"As far as I'm concerned they have done everything that's been asked of them in the last 12 months," said one-day skipper Aaron Finch, adding that he didn't believe their return would be destabilising.

"Knowing them both personally as I do, I don't think there will be any issues whatsoever. They are both great, great guys." Their return has left coach Justin Langer with a dilemma on the back of Australia winning eight one-day internationals on the trot, against India and Pakistan. All the top order have been firing, and it is Handscomb who is the fall guy despite averaging 43 in 13 games this year. The decision to drop him means the team only has one wicketkeeper in Alex Carey.As with the batsmen, Australia's selectors faced a bowling conundrum as they target a record sixth World Cup triumph.

They will have to rebuild their careers from 'scratch' and show true 'grit' (hopefully not 80; 120 and 320 grit like last time)

So much for the “Warner will never play for Australia again!”

CWC19 will loose all credibility !
