Melbourne, Dec 26: Veteran Australian opener David Warner has picked Marcus Harris as his replacement at the top of the order after he quits the longest format of the sport.
Warner had already said that the ongoing three-Test series against Pakistan will be his last in the format.
While there have been talks about his ideal replacement in red-ball cricket, Warner vouched for the 31-year-old Harris, who he feels has been around for a long time and that the selectors need to show faith in him.
“It’s a tough one. It’s obviously up to the selectors. But from my position, I feel like the person who’s worked their backside off and has been there for a while in the background,” Warner was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo on Tuesday.“I think Harry’s been that person. He’s toured, he’s going to have that chance. He scored a hundred the other day (for Victoria XI vs the Pakistanis).
“He missed out in a couple of other games, but he’s always been that person who was next in line. If the selectors show faith in him, then I’m sure he’ll come out and play the way he does,” he said.Former Australia batter Michael Hussey prefers someone who has dominated in the Sheffield Shield and been around the Australian Test team for a considerable period should replace Warner.
