Short collected a quadruple injury against Afghanistan and would not have had time to recover for knockout matches.
Connolly, the 21 -year -old left batter and the left arm roulette, has been a travel reserve with the equipment, so it will be available immediately. He has played only three hate, but could directly get to the consideration of the given selection that Australia has lost the short displacement.
Fraser-McGurk, who was a replacement for Mitchell Marsh, has fought in his seven hate to date with 98 races at 14.00, wearing vulnerable when the new ball moves, but the selectors still see him as a player who can face PowerPlay.
If Fraser-McGurk is not the route taken by the selectors, it will require someone in the middle order to move towards the upper part to fulfill the role of short, potentially the Josh Inglis in shape.
Australia learned that his opponents for the semifinal will be India in Dubai on Tuesday when New Zealand was defeated in the last group game.
Both parts of group B that qualified, Australia and South Africa, traveled to Dubai so that the team that faced India had time to prepare. South Africa will now return directly to Lahore for its semifinal against New Zealand.
Australia was worried about Sri Lanka spinners in her two ODI in Colombo before the Champions Trophy.
“Change a little,” Zampa said about the conditions between Pakistan and Dubai. “Potentially slower wickts, so there may be an opportunity to create some more opportunities, we’ll see.”

“Personally, I don’t think I’m playing at my best moment, but I like to think that beauty about me is when I am not at my best and I don’t feel great, my ability to contribute and take those great WICKETS,” he said.
“Obviously I am working on some things at this time so that hopefully they return to my best moment, but as I said, the ability to continue doing a job for the team and getting those great WICKETS is still there, which for me is really important.”
