Aus vs Ind: Langer Clarifies The Role Of Labuschagne Ahead Of 1st Test

By IANS News December 15, 2020 • 11:16 AM View: 2946

Australia head coach Justin Langer on Tuesday stated that Marnus Labuschagne won't be opening the innings in the first Test of the upcoming four-match series against India. Langer though hinted that Matthew Wade could play as an opener.

The Aussies, who had initially named David Warner, Will Pucovski, and Joe Burns as openers for the first Test, suffered twin blows with Warner getting injured and Pucovski getting a blow on his head. Both the batsmen have been ruled out of the pink-ball Test which begins Thursday at the Adelaide Oval. And there are also doubts over Joe Burns who has had a terrible season. He failed in both the warm-up games and had struggled in Sheffield Shield cricket too. Left-handed opener Marcus Harris has been called up to the squad.
