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.

Australia's stand-in captain, Steve Smith, has detailed a 'flexible' plan for the upcoming Champions Trophy. The team is already facing a lot of challenges with several key players missing due to injuries. Despite a lackluster 0-2 loss in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, Smith is hopeful of Australia's performance in the tournament.

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.
