Voges Confident Inglis Can Shine At No. 4 For Australia In Windies Tests
The Western Australia: Former Australia batter Adam Voges backed Josh Inglis to bat at No.4 in Australia’s reshaped top order for the upcoming first Test in the Caribbean. The Western Australia (WA) coach believes the wicketkeeper-batter is more than capable of thriving in the top four at Test level, despite limited first-class experience in those positions.
Inglis was confirmed as a definite starter for the opening Test against the West Indies in Barbados next Wednesday, following Cricket Australia’s unusual move of announcing Marnus Labuschagne's omission five days ahead of the match. The selectors also confirmed that Steven Smith would miss out due to injury.
Inglis and Sam Konstas were named as direct replacements, although the final XI and batting order remain unconfirmed. Konstas is expected to open alongside Usman Khawaja, as selectors aim to establish a stable opening pair for the West Indies tour and the Ashes, following a stretch of 12 Tests with five different combinations.
