'Australia Needs To Get Him Into The Team': Watson Backs Green To Replace Warner As Test Opener
New Delhi: Shane Watson, a former all-rounder, thinks Cameron Green has the necessary skills to thrive as a Test opener as Australia's selectors are exploring options to select Usman Khawaja’s opening partner for the upcoming West Indies series in mid-January following David Warner's retirement.
Shane Watson asserts that Green’s previous experience at the top of the order isn't required but Australia needs to take care of his bowling as he might take a game or two to figure out his game plan.
"There's no question in my mind he can (open). Australia needs to get Cameron Green into the team and the opportunity that you've got right now is for him to open. They'll just have to manage his bowling, for sure, like with my bowling when I was opening the batting," Watson told ESPNCricinfo.
