										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Steve Smith and Aaron Finch were both included in Australia&#8217;s squad for the Twenty20 World Cup on Thursday despite injury struggles, while uncapped wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Inglis was a shock selection. Batting lynchpin Smith had been under a cloud after pulling out of recent tours to the West Indies and Bangladesh due to a left elbow problem.</p>
<p>He said last month <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/steve-smith-ready-to-sacrifice-t20-world-cup-to-be-fit-for-ashes-2478195" target="_self" rel="noopener">he could sacrifice playing at the T20 World Cup</a> to ensure he was fit for the home Ashes series against England this year, making clear Test cricket was his priority. But he was part of the 15-strong squad named for the tournament from October 17 to November 14 in the United Arab Emirates and Oman</p>
<p>Fast bowler Andrew Tye along with top-order options Alex Carey, Moises Henriques, Josh Philippe and Ashton Turner were notable omissions, but Inglis surprisingly got the nod as back-up gloveman to Matthew Wade.</p>
