Australia defeated Pakistan by 79 runs in the second test match played at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Earlier, the hosts had defeated Pakistan by 360 runs in the first Test match. At present, Australia is leading 2-0 in the three-match Test series.
The third and final Test match starts in Sydney from 3 January. Many people are eagerly waiting for this match. Let us tell you, this match will be the last match for David Warner in the Test format. The Australian team would like to give him a very good farewell. At present, the question arising in the minds of many people is that after David Warner’s retirement from Test cricket, who will replace him?
Some people believe that young player Marcus Harris can easily replace David Warner in Test cricket because his performance has been very good in this format. While some say that Matt Renshaw should open the Test team in place of David Warner after his retirement. Some people have also named Cameron Bancroft.
On 30 December, the selectors met to announce the squad ahead of the third Test against Pakistan. Australia team head coach Andrew McDonald said that David Warner’s replacement will be announced when the selectors announce the team for the Test series against West Indies.
All options will be emphasized: Andrew McDonald
According to ESPNcricinfo, Australia’s head coach said, ‘Emphasis will be given to all options. We will not take any decision until the deadline for the Test series against West Indies comes. There are a few options and all are pretty good. I am someone who once takes a decision, communicates it in a timely manner. Till then everyone will talk about this thing.
Cameron Green, who is one of the top 6 best batsmen, will also be in focus. David Warner has taken Harris’s name but he is not a selector. All the players are very good and we are also keeping an eye on their options. Whatever player he has named, it does not mean that other players will not get a chance. At present, when we will announce the team for the Test series against West Indies, then everyone will also know about their options.
