Cricket Australia (CA) has named all-rounder Cooper Connolly as the replacement for the injured opener Matthew Short in their squad ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final.

Connolly was initially named as Australia’s travelling reserve in the multi-nation tournament.

Matthew Short injured his calf while fielding during Australia’s rain-hit clash against Afghanistan. Although he batted in the run chase and made quick fire 20, he appeared to be in discomfort during his brief stay at the crease.

The ICC Event Technical Committee has approved Connolly’s inclusion in Australia’s squad.

While speaking in a post-match presentation, Australia skipper Steve Smith had stated about the opener’s injury status, mentioning that he may not recover in time.

“I think he’ll be struggling. We saw tonight that he wasn’t moving very well, and I think it’s probably going to be too quick between games for him to recover,” said Smith

india vs Australia, 1st Semi-Final (A1 v B2) - Live

What they said

In the semi-final, we don't know which pitch is going to be played. Whatever happens, we have to adapt and see what is happening. We will play on that. This is not our home, this is Dubai. So, we don't play so many matches here. This is new for us too - Rohit Sharma on the talk that India have advantage by playing all games in Dubai


Squads:
India Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana


Australia Squad: Jake Fraser-McGurk, Travis Head, Steven Smith(c), Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis(w), Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson, Sean Abbott, Aaron Hardie, Tanveer Sangha, Cooper Connolly

Rohit: I was prepared to do both. When you're confused, it's better to lose the toss. The pitch keeps changing its nature. You have to play good cricket. We've played good cricket in all three games and that's what we'll try to do. It's going to be challenging. We are playing with the same team.

Steve Smith: We'll have a bat. Looks a pretty dry surface. The guys had a couple of sessions, ready to go. It should take turn. Very good side - India. Two changes. Cooper Connolly comes in for Short, Sangha comes in for Johnson.
