AUS vs IND: David Warner's Absence Pinches Australia, Matthew Wade Pitch-Forked Into Opener's Role

By IANS News December 28, 2020 • 22:58 PM View: 868

An injury to regular Australia opener David Warner and lack of in-form genuine openers pitch-forked Matthew Wade, a specialist wicket-keeper, into an opener's slot for the ongoing Test series against India - with mixed results. In three innings against India, Wade has managed a grand total of 111 runs in four innings of the two Tests.

Wade, 33, is surely a temporary arrangement and once Warner gets match fit he would walk into the XI, replacing him.
