Langer Wishes For Specialist Opener In Australia Test Team Instead Of Promoting Green
Australia Test: Former Australian coach Justin Langer, who excelled as an opener in the Test team, wishes to see the current selectors preferring a specialist opener instead of promoting all-rounder Cameron Green to the top of the order.
The discussion for Australia’s next Test opener has been intense ever since David Warner played his last red-ball game against Pakistan at Sydney. Apart from Green, Steven Smith, Marcus Harris, Cameron Bancroft and Matt Renshaw are the current potential candidates to take Warner’s role.
Harris, Bancroft and Renshaw are specialist openers, while Green and Smith are middle-order batters. “I hope they don’t open with him (Green). He hasn’t opened before. The only reason he is in the discussion about it is that the Australian team and selectors obviously want to get him into the team.”
