Border-Gavaskar Trophy is to be played between India and Australia (IND vs AUS) from 22nd November. The first match of this series will be played in Perth, for which a 13-member team has been announced by Cricket Australia.

On the other hand, before the start of this series, former cricketers and cricket experts are continuously making statements. So now a new name has been added to this list of Australia’s legendary wicketkeeper batsman Adam Gilchrist. Gilchrist has said that the Australian management can play wicketkeeper batsman Josh English in the top order.

Adam Gilchrist gave a big statement

Let us tell you that recently Cricket Australia has announced a 13-member team for the first match against India during BGT. After the announcement of this team, Adam Gilchrist in a discussion with Fox Cricket said-

English is in the team as a reserve batsman, which Australia traditionally does not do in home conditions. I think McSweeney will open, but is he sticking to last year’s policy? We want our six best batsmen in Australia to play in the top six.

Nathan McSweeney is a good looking player. They see his game being a little more suited to opening batting, while Josh English knows how to attack, so keep him in the top order. This is probably the best way to protect him.
