Australia’s Captain Dispatched Reassuring Messages To Bancroft And Harris, Reinforcing Their Test Consideration After Davis Warner’s Retirement.
Despite Being Overlooked, Bancroft Was The Leading Sheffield Shield Run-Scorer Last Season And Holds A Central Contract As A Reserve Batter. Harris, On The Other Hand, Was The Reserve Batter On The Ashes Tour Last Year.
Cummins Positively Stated That Harris And Bancroft’s Performances In First-Class Cricket Were Commendable And Consequently, They Remained Firmly In Test Consideration.
Smith’s Promotion Was An Unconventional Move, Yet It Made Sense As It Enabled Green’s Return To A Natural Position. Smith’s Eagerness For The Change Was Evident, And His Energy And Excitement Were Evident During Training.
Warner’s Retirement And Green’s Return Sparked A Reshuffle In The Team, Resulting In Khawaja Taking Up First Slip And Green Providing An Additional Bowler Option, Allowing For A Six-Man Attack With The Inclusion Of Travis Head’s Offspin.
