Pat Cummins gave a surprising answer regarding David Warner Pat Cummins said about the upcoming Test series, “I have had some informal talks with Ronnie (coach Andrew McDonald) and we have always said let’s work on this. We have a little time till the next match, so I am sure the selectors will sit after this and decide on it (the opener). The good thing is that we have no shortage of options. There are probably three or four guys who can play up there and we think they’ll do a great job, but honestly, we haven’t talked about it in too much depth yet.” Cummins further said, “Uzi (Usman Khawaja) was not a specialist till then, there was only one place available in the team and he forced his way into the team. So ideally here you should have someone who has experience of opening, but I don’t think this is something that cannot be changed. It is very difficult to replace Warner.” Also read: Athiya Shetty stole KL Rahul’s heart again

AUS v PAK: Australia eyes clean sweep, announces strongest playing XI for final test match

Warner and Usman Khawaja will open the batting for the last time, while the pair of Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne will once again try to play a big innings after consecutive poor scores. While Cameron Green was seen practicing for quite some time in the nets, he is being left out of the team due to in-form Mitchell Marsh. When Marsh came to bat in the second innings of the Boxing Day Test, the team’s score was 16/4 and from there he scored an excellent inning of 96 runs and as a result, he got a place in the team again. Australia has a busy schedule from early 2024. After the Pak series, the team will play an all-format series against West Indies from January 17 and then a series against New Zealand from February 21. Despite workload management, Australia has decided not to make any changes in the team and the brilliant trio of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will handle the responsibility of the fast bowling department. Players like Travis Head and Nathan Lyon have also retained their places in the playing eleven, while wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey will also remain in the squad.
