'It Would Be Awesome': Scott Boland Eyes Australia Test Return In BGT

By IANS News October 18, 2024 • 14:28 PM View: 857

New South Wales: After an injury-hampered start to the summer, Scott Boland is ready to return to the Sheffield Shield and stake his claim for a spot in Australia's Test side, with hopes of donning the Baggy Green once again in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India.

Boland will make his Shield return this weekend at the MCG, where his Victoria side will take on New South Wales in a star-studded clash.

The 35-year-old has been sidelined by dual injuries, a plantar fascia tear in his right foot and a left knee niggle. But now the paceman is determined to prove he deserves a chance to take on India, a team against which he has already demonstrated his big-game credentials.
