If I Get Called Upon, I Feel Like I’m Ready To Go, Says Marcus Harris After Hitting 74 For Australia ‘A’
Melbourne Cricket Ground: After hitting 74 for Australia A on the second day of their four-day game against India A at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, opener Marcus Harris said he would be ready to open the batting for Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy if called upon.
On a pitch still offering assistance to seamers, Harris kept India A at bay through his patient knock of 74 off 138 balls, which was laced with five boundaries, as Australia A made 223 in their first innings. The knock is bound to give Harris an edge over other competitors to partner Usman Khawaja in the first Test against India at Perth, starting on November 22.
“Externally, obviously this game was getting built up a lot, which is fair enough. I feel like I’ve been batting well, but so have lots of people. If I get called upon, I feel like I’m ready to go -- and if I don’t, then so be it,” said Harris to reporters at the end of day two’s play.
