Glad Australia Have Struck With Alex Carey For The First Test Against Pakistan: Tim Paine
Former Australia Test: Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine was happy to see the Australian selection committee stick with Alex Carey as their main wicketkeeper-batter in the squad for the first Test at Optus Stadium in Perth starting on December 14.
Carey has been Australia’s red-ball wicketkeeper since Paine played his last Test in 2021, but has recently lost his ODI and T20I spots to Josh Inglis. Carey recently made 81 for South Australia against Victoria in last week’s Sheffield Shield clash in preparing for the Tests against Pakistan.
“Alex Carey, as we touched on, is still first choice Test ’keeper. He hasn’t had a great period of white-ball cricket, but I don't think his Ashes form was so bad that he wouldn't be selected for this one.”
