Aus vs Ind: Langer Backing Warner, Smith To Come In Last Two Tests

By IANS News January 05, 2021 • 11:10 AM View: 2373

Australia head coach Justin Langer on Tuesday admitted that both David Warner and Steve Smith haven't played enough red-ball cricket over the past one year but he is backing the two to come good in the last two Tests against India by spending time in the middle.

"Davey (David Warner) has played a lot of white-ball cricket, a bit like Steve Smith. He hasn't played any four-day cricket for about 12 months now. That is not even talking about his injury to groin. So that is something we talked about. He is a master of the game, has played a lot of cricket and his experience will help him through that," said Langer.
