Australia's ICC Curse: Out of Fourth Tournament After World Cup Trophy 'Insult'

• Australia, once cricket's 'super boss', faced a disappointing exit from the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 after losses to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.
• The team's recent struggles in ICC events are linked to an alleged 'curse' stemming from Mitchell Marsh's viral photo.
• Marsh was pictured with his foot on the 2023 ODI World Cup trophy, sparking widespread criticism for disrespect.
• Since the 2023 incident, Australia has failed to win any ICC event and has been eliminated from four tournaments.
• These eliminations include the T20 World Cup 2024, Champions Trophy 2025, and a loss in the World Test Championship final.
