Ricky Ponting Backs Nathan McSweeney To Open The Batting With Khawaja In BGT
The ICC Review: Legendary Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has backed batter Nathan McSweeney to open the batting with Usman Khawaja in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India, starting on November 22 in Perth.
Interestingly, Ponting had endorsed for young Sam Konstas to fill in the opening position vacancy post David Warner’s retirement. “I was put on the spot about a week ago, and I sort of immediately went to the young guy, Sam Konstas. He had come off back-to-back hundreds against South Australia.”
“Then I thought a bit more about it and, he is so young and he has probably not even played on grounds like Optus (Perth) Stadium or at The Gabba. He wouldn’t have played a pink-ball (match) at Adelaide Oval either. So there’s a lot of things that stack up against the young guy, although there’s no doubt that he’s got talent.”
