After the home series against Pakistan, southpaw David Warner has declared his retirement from Test cricket, bringing an end to his illustrious red-ball career. The Australian team management has, however, already begun to consider the future, as there have been discussions about perhaps switching up the batting order. Though Matt Renshaw, Marcus Harris, and Cameron Bancroft appeared to be the front-runners to succeed Warner, things may alter slightly to create room for Cameron Green.
Notably, Green was substituted for Mitchell Marsh in the final Ashes Test. Unless there is a serious injury issue for the Australian team, he is anticipated to miss the Test series against Pakistan as well. Australia’s head coach, Andrew McDonald, who is analyzing the issue, made a suggestion that there might be an opening at another position because the intention is to fit the six greatest hitters available.
How does Cam Green’s future with the Test team appear to be? Will I have to wait for Mitch to finish, or might there be another opening that comes up later? Most of his Test cricket has been spent at number six, but he has been an excellent number four for Western Australia and averages about fifty runs each Shield match. McDonald stated to SEN radio, “There’s always the possibility that you may move the order to make room to put your best six hitters, or what you consider to be the top six batters, in a certain order.
It has already been observed in Australian cricket: Andrew McDonald
Andrew McDonald said that since the Australian players have relocated before, it shouldn’t be shocking if it occurs once again. Before citing Shane Watson, who went from number six to opener, he cited the cases of David Boon and Justin Langer.
“That has happened previously in Australian cricket. David Boon advanced to the first three. From three, Justin Langer opened. Shane Watson moved up to the opening. The capacity to successfully rearrange has been available. However, we’ll save that for the opening Test match in Perth, according to McDonald.
