Australia captain Steve Smith has said that the team will go for a 'flexible' approach during this year's Champions Trophy. Australia are missing some key players ahead of the start of the tournament.

Following his side's win over England in their ICC Champions Trophy campaign opener, Australia captain Steve Smith commended the team's effort and said that they felt 350 runs were chaseable. Australia put aside all talks about a potential early exit from the Champions Trophy,

The last time Australia played a match in an ICC ODI tournament without all three of Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood was in the 2013 Champions Trophy in their first group game against Sri Lanka. Cummins and Hazlewood were not even part of the squad at that time, while Starc was benched for that game.
