You know bowlers are getting old, Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja are also slowly getting old, so this young player should be given a chance.” He further said, “Obviously he still has a lot of cricket in front of him. But one thing Australian cricket has always done incredibly well was to look at someone who was different from all the young stars coming through and integrate them into the Australian set-up as quickly as possible with reasonable understanding.

Khalil Ahmed and Avesh Khan have been included as reserves for the tournament. On which many veterans have raised questions.

Watson revealed that he was quite surprised by SRH’s Natarajan being left out of India’s 15-man squad for the World Cup, and pointed out how the fast bowler would have played a vital role in India’s bowling attack. Let us tell you that Natarajan is in great form in IPL 2024, he has taken 15 wickets in his eight matches for SRH, due to which he currently has the Purple Cap. While advocating for Natarajan, Shane Watson said in his statement- “His ability to bowl yorkers, along with that change of pace, is something he keeps doing again and again. That’s why I wonder how he is not in the team. When the entire match is under the control of the batsmen and you are bowling important bowling at such a time, it is surprising for me to not be included in the team even after such a performance. When he performs well at such times, we all are very happy watching his bowling.”
