Let us tell you, a two-match Test series is to be played between Australia and West Indies, which is starting from January 17. The first match of this test series will be played in Adelaide. Recently, Australia played a three-match Test series against Pakistan, after which David Warner retired from international Test and ODI cricket. After David Warner’s retirement from Test cricket, experienced batsman Steve Smith has expressed his desire to open for his team in this format. Cricket Australia has also agreed with Steve Smith on this point and now he will open his team in the Test series against West Indies while Cameron Green will be seen batting at number four. Cameron Green believes that he can play his natural game while batting at number four. He himself is very happy with the fact that the Australian all-rounder will bat at number four only. According to ESPNcricinfo, Cameron Green said, ‘I feel that I have some time left. I felt that I should bat at number five instead of number six. I also believed that I could play my natural game while batting at number four. Feeling very happy that I will bat at number four: Cameron Green Cameron Green further said, ‘The selectors have not told me anything. But now I will prepare the way my team wants me to. It is not going to be so easy to replace Steve Smith but I will bat in my own way and I am fully prepared for it. I think Australia has many talented players but they are missing. This is the beauty of Australian cricket. Matt Renshaw, Cameron Bancroft and Marcus Harris are playing very good cricket at the moment but there are other players in the team whose performance has been very good. There is no such problem within the group and I am fully prepared to play my natural game.

“I am very happy with Smith’s performance at number 4” – Cummins probably does not want to make Steve Smith the opener.
Pat Cummins and Steve Smith (Pic Source-Twitter) Ever since David Warner announced his retirement from Test cricket, many opening batsmen have been seen as his replacement, especially in Test cricket. Players like Marcus Harris, Cameron Bancroft and Matt Renshaw were included in this list. However, the team management was open to the idea of trying Cameron Green at the top of the order along with Usman Khawaja. AlthoughBefore the third Test against Pakistan in Sydney, Steve Smith had expressed his desire to open, which made the decision even more difficult for the team management. marnus labuschagne supported the idea and said that it would give him a lot of motivation to improve in the longest format. However, captain Pat Cummins does not support this and is happy with Smith playing at number four. The captain said that he has no problem from numbers 3 to 6, as Labuschagne, Smith, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh have performed well. Steve Smith will bat at number 4 only – Pat Cummins Pat Cummins was quoted by Cricbuzz as saying, “I am very happy with (Smith’s) performance at number 4. Obviously Marnus (Labuschen), Steve (Smith), Travie (Head) and (Mitchell) Marsh have been very influential at Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6. So the first instinct is probably not to disrupt it.” Warner was a tremendous player in red-ball cricket and Cummins said that it would be difficult for anyone to replace him. The 30-year-old did not give a clear indication of the player who could replace Warner in the final playing XI, but said that players who have scored runs in the Sheffield Shield will be considered for this. Cummins said, “Obviously it will be really difficult to repeat what Davey has done. I think what you really look for is who is in the best position to score runs. But I think, in Test cricket, there are some things that remain true – and that is that you have to put pressure on the opponent. You have to tick the scoreboard. Not always – but most of the time – you have to keep the scoreboard moving. There are some thoughts, but realistically, if someone is scoring runs in Shield cricket, it is probably a good sign that they can do it at the next level.” Also read: Wasim Akram got furious on social media, read what is the whole matter
