Men’s ODI WC: Tim Paine Calls For Marcus Stoinis To Be Kept In Australia’s Playing Eleven If Only He Takes New-ball
Former Australia Test: Former Australia Test skipper Tim Paine has called for Marcus Stoinis to be kept in the side’s playing eleven for the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup second semi-final against South Africa only if the fast-bowling all-rounder takes up new-ball bowling duties.
With Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc set to come in Australia’s playing eleven for the semi-final clash against the Proteas at the Eden Gardens on November 16, Sean Abbott is likely to make way. But the question for the team management is who between Stoinis and Marnus Labuschagne should be retained in the eleven.
As per Paine’s view, he would Labuschagne in the side for as an extra batting option, and if Stoinis is handed new-ball duties, then he expects him to keep his place in the eleven. “I wouldn't definitely play Stonis. Without seeing the wicket, I find it really hard to make a call.”
