Matt Renshaw is just not relying on taking part in in Australia’s first Test in India regardless of allrounder Cameron Green unlikely to be slot in time to bowl.
The left-hander changed Green at No.6 for the New Year’s Test in opposition to South Africa, after the 23-year-old broke his finger within the earlier match on the MCG.
Renshaw solely had a short stint within the center on the SCG in his first Test for greater than 4 years, scoring an unbeaten 5, as teammates Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith piled on centuries.
Australia coach Andrew McDonald has admitted Green could be critically thought-about as a specialist batter within the Border-Gavaskar opener at Nagpur on February 9, even when he was unable to bowl as he recovers from finger surgical procedure.
“Obviously you think about that (potentially playing the first Test) a little bit,” Renshaw mentioned after Brisbane Heat’s BBL win on Sunday evening.
“Greeny’s a class player of spin anyway so I don’t know if that’ll affect it too much, whether it’s me or him as a batting option.
“We noticed how nicely he went in Sri Lanka, he is an excellent participant.
“So I’ve just got to go over there and just prepare as if I’m playing – and if I’m not playing just be a really good 12th man and a good tourist.”
The left-handed Queenslander will head for his second tour of India stuffed with confidence after rediscovering his finest over the past 12 months.
Aged simply 20, Renshaw was David Warner’s opening associate when Australia went down 2-1 in a gripping sequence in India in 2017.
“My game has come a long way since then,” the 26-year-old mentioned.
“Definitely the mental side of everything, I’ve grown up a lot so really looking forward to getting back over there and build on what happened six years ago.
“I felt like I had a very good tour, sadly we could not win the sequence, which is the primary factor going over there and making an attempt to win that sequence.”
