CT: Australia To Look At Top Three Batters And Bowling Combination, Says McDonald
World Test Championship: Australia head coach Andrew McDonald said the side would be looking at the structure of their top three batters in the absence of Mitchell Marsh and their bowling combination minus Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood in their upcoming two ODIs against Sri Lanka.
With the Champions Trophy just less than ten days away, Australia will be using ODIs against Sri Lanka in Colombo to see who can fill up the vacancies in their squad for the eight-team tournament after Cummins, Hazlewood and Marsh were ruled out due to varying injuries and Marcus Stoinis announcing a shock retirement from ODI cricket.
"You want to play to win, there's no doubt about that because winning form always helps the confidence of a group. But there will definitely be some options that we look at, how we go about it - what the structure of the top three (batting) looks like without Mitch Marsh there."
