Australia has always dominated world cricket. Australia, one of the most successful teams in the history of international cricket, is in the news because of its shameful performance in the 2026 T20 World Cup. In this global tournament being played in India and Sri Lanka, the Australian team has been eliminated in the league stage itself. After this, the cricket fans are fiercely criticizing the Kangaroo team. Fans say that pride has taken Australia down.
The Australian team, which has won 6 ICC ODI World Cups, 2 ICC Champions Trophies, 1 WTC Trophy and 1 T20 World Cup title, has gone bankrupt in the last three years. Actually, Australia won the title by defeating India in the 2023 ODI World Cup played in India. After this, the proud Kangaroo players were seen drinking alcohol in their shoes. Mitchell Marsh was seen drinking alcohol with his feet on the ODI World Cup trophy. There was a lot of uproar when these pictures went viral.
Australia is in bad shape after the 2023 ODI World Cup. The Kangaroo team did not reach the semi-finals of the 2024 T20 World Cup. The Australian team also flopped in the 2025 Champions Trophy. WTC also lost to South Africa in the final and now got eliminated in the league stage of the 2026 T20 World Cup. Australia even lost to Zimbabwe in this ICC tournament.

Now fans are criticizing Australia by sharing old videos and photos. Fans say that Australia has been drowned by their pride. Fans say that Australia insulted cricket and that is why they are in this condition. In the ICC review, former captain Ricky Ponting said on Australia’s performance and their exit from the T20 World Cup that they had injury problems from the very beginning. Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins were out due to injury. Tim David was also not fit initially. On the defeat to Zimbabwe, Ponting said that I think the way they lost to Zimbabwe will be a match that they will think about later and say that from that moment our World Cup was lost.
Now the news has come that if the New Zealand team enters the semi-finals of the 2026 T20 World Cup, then Australia will not be able to directly qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Australia has slipped from second to third place in the ICC T20 team rankings.
