Wouldn't Say Playing Two Spinners Is A Given: Pat Cummins Ahead Of Test Series Opener

By IANS News February 04, 2023 • 23:20 PM View: 922

With five days to go for the 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener in Nagpur, Australia captain Pat Cummins stated that he hasnt decided yet on whether he would be fielding two spinners in the playing eleven.

With Cameron Green having a very small chance of bowling in the first Test, Australia are very delicately poised on how they balance their playing eleven. Apart from premier off-spinner Nathan Lyon being a certainty, the visitors' have options in left-arm spinner Ashton Agar, leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson and uncapped off spinner Todd Murphy.
