I Would Drop David Warner And Bring Travis Head Into The Middle Order, Says Mitchell Johnson

By IANS News February 13, 2023 • 13:37 PM View: 679

After the horrific show in the first Test, former Australia pacer Mitchell Johnson has urged the selectors to take a bold call and axe David Warner, elevate Matthew Renshaw to open and bring Travis Head in the middle-order in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy here.

Warner, who has played nine Tests in India and scored 399 runs at an average of 22.16, has been facing criticism after failing to deliver with the bat in the first Test in Nagpur getting dismissed for mere scores of 1 and 10 as the visitors suffered a huge loss by an innings and 132 runs within three days.
