Usman Khawaja Backs Nathan McSweeney As Opening Partner In BGT
The 25-year-old South Australian skipper will make his Test debut against India in Perth’s first Test starting next Friday and set to be slotted in as the opener alongside Khawaja for the five-Test series against India.
Having featured in 34 first-class games, McSweeney has 2252 runs to his name at an average of 34.16. His promotion to the senior team comes on the back of an impressive couple of outings in the Sheffield Shield, and a match-winning knock against India-A in the first of two Tests.
