Kangaroo team's experienced batsman Steve Smith is also part of Warne's team and he believes that coming back to the Smith team will strengthen the middle order of the Kangaroo team. Warne has also included Glenn Maxwell in his team, which is currently running in a formidable form against India, apart from him, Alex Carrie has also been included in the team as Marx Steinis and wicketkeeper.

He said that after recovering from injury, Shaun Marsh will also be part of the team's final eleven. Warne believes that this Australian team is one of the strongest contenders of the World Cup, and if Australians win the World Cup then we should not be surprised.
