Justin Langer backs Matthew Wade to open batting, Cameron Green to make Test debut
National coach Justin Langer has confirmed Cameron Green will make his Test debut against India, if deemed fit to play on Thursday, and has also backed Matthew Wade to open Australia’s batting.
Key points:
- Langer says Wade is well regarded to have the attributes to move up the batting order
- He says a decision has not been made on out-of-form Joe Burns
- Cameron Green will also make his Test debut if deemed fit to play
Green has been in impressive batting form this season and made a hundred against India for Australia A last week, before he suffered a mild concussion while bowling.
Langer today said the 21-year-old West Australian would likely secure a baggy green, if he passes concussion tests, taking a spot in the middle order.
