Team India will leave for Australia on November 10 for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Indian team will directly reach Perth, where the first Test will be played from 22 November. Even before Team India reaches Perth, the careers of 3 Australian players seem to be in danger. Australia has not yet announced its team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. But, it is expected that it will be difficult for those 3 players to get a chance in the 5 test match series against India.
Test career of these 3 players eclipsed!
You must be wondering who are those 3 players whose career has been eclipsed? And why can’t he be a part of Australia in the series against Team India? The answer to the first question here is Cameron Bancroft, Marcus Harris and Sam Constas. If local media reports are to be believed, it is difficult for any of these three to make a place in the Australian team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The big thing is that the reason for this happening to them is also the Indian team.
All three are contenders for the opening slot
Actually, the three Australian players we are talking about are currently playing for Australia A against India A. The interesting thing is that all three are trying to prove themselves for the opening slot. But, seeing the bad condition of all three against India A bowlers, it does not seem that the selection committee will now consider the names of any of them.
Fail against India A, career may be in danger!
Leave alone the performance of any of the three Australian players against India A, it was not even close to the expectations. Sam Constas, who did not open his account in the first innings, could score only 17 runs in the second innings. Marcus Harris scored 17 runs in the first innings but could not score more than 36 runs in the second innings. Talking about Cameron Bancroft, he too could score only 16 runs in the second innings after not opening his account in the first innings.
It is clear from these figures that at present none of the three Australian batsmen seems to be making a place in Australia’s opening slot. And, if this is so, then the international career of all three players is in danger.
