McSweeney Ready To Step Up As Opener For Australia Against India A
Nathan McSweeney: Australia A captain Nathan McSweeney is embracing the prospect of stepping up to open the batting against India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) if the selectors opt for a non-specialist opener. McSweeney believes his current form and experience batting at No. 3 for South Australia have prepared him well for the challenge of facing the new ball.
With a batting lineup that includes former Test openers Cameron Bancroft and Marcus Harris, along with promising youngster Sam Konstas, the selectors have options. But McSweeney’s recent run of scores—55, 127 not out, 37, and 72—has thrust him into serious consideration.
"I feel like I've been playing some really good cricket, and I feel like my game is progressing each year and hopefully I continue to do that," McSweeney told reporters in Mackay.
