Former Australia captain Ian Chappell named a list of youngsters he would like to watch during India tour. Australia now have an opportunity to buck their recent trend with youngsters Will Pucovski and Cameron Green pushing their case for selection against India in the upcoming Test series, he said in a column for espncricinfo.
Both Pucovski, a 22-year-old batsman, and Green, a 21-year-old all-rounder, have more than just heavy run-scoring to back their cause. Pucovski started the Shield season with his second double-century, in his first innings as an opener. Given the ongoing search for a suitable partner for the ebullient David Warner, this was a timely move to the top of the order, he added.
India’s Prithvi Shaw burst onto the scene with a Test century on debut as an 18 year-old, but has since exuded signs he’s yet to “work it out”. Having missed out on valuable experience on the last tour of Australia because of an untimely ankle injury, he then displayed signs in New Zealand that he’s now closer to working it out and this Australian tour could well further that progression, he wrote.
One of the more exciting aspects of a Test series is witnessing young players evolve into really good cricketers.
If the Australian and Indian selectors react positively then the upcoming series could be a rewarding one for those who like to closely follow the impact of good young cricketers, he added.
