Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Gilchrist Backs Inglis For Test Opening Role Against India
After Cricket Australia: After Cricket Australia confirmed that Nathan McSweeney would open the batting in Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener, former wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist questioned the selectors if they strayed from their "top six batters" policy and argued that Josh Inglis, who had been included as reserve batter, deserves his Test debut against India in Perth and open the batting alongside Usman Khawaja.
On Sunday, Cricket Australia, while revealing the 13-man squad, confirmed that McSweeney would open the batting alongside Khawaja in the series opener on November 12.
McSweeney had never opened the batting at first-class level before this week’s Australia A match against India A at the MCG, while Inglis, who has cemented his spot in Australia’s white-ball teams, was named as reserve batter after a blistering start to his Sheffield Shield campaign, blasting 297 runs at an average 99.00 in two matches.
