The absence of pivotal Australian figures like Travis Head, who played match-winning innings in the final, ignited widespread bewilderment. Despite Head’s commendable performance and his instrumental role in the team’s success, his exclusion remained a significant point of contention among fans questioning the selection process.

Additionally, the absence of acclaimed players such as Pat Cummins and David Warner from the ‘Team of the Tournament’ raised further queries and prompted fans to voice their discontent with the selections made by the panel.

Fans took to social media platforms to express their astonishment and disappointment, questioning the rationale behind the selections. Some criticized the imbalance between representation from the finalist teams, while others highlighted standout individual performances that seemingly merited inclusion in the prestigious lineup.

The selection panel, consisting of renowned cricketing figures like Shane Watson, Ian Bishop, Wasim Khan, Kass Naidoo, and Sunil Vaidya, faced scrutiny for their choices, with fans openly expressing their disagreement and urging reconsideration for certain players overlooked in the final lineup.

The announced ‘Team of the Tournament’ for the ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 included notable names based on statistical performances.
