Latest News :- At the end of the current year, the Indian team will tour Australia and play 5 test matches. Australian coach McDonald said that the top 6 players of the Australian team will not be able to do anything for this. After the retirement of David Warner, Steve Smith has been wrongly promoted as an opener. It will be very difficult for Smith to 'survive' in front of Bumrah, Akash Deep and Siraj.

However, there is a discussion going on whether Steve Smith should play the role of opener and if he does not want to open like this then some other player should be sent to open.

But nothing has been decided permanently yet, says MacDonald.

If Steve Smith is expected to falter against India's formidable bowling as an opener, expect Cameron Green, who scored 174 against New Zealand, to open the innings in his place. In any case, Steve Smith's place is currently confirmed along with Green, Usman Khawaja, Marnes Labuschagne, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh and there is no place for any of these six players as a replacement. So these are the definitive, final top picks, says McDonald's.

McDonald said that he is giving more importance to the India series and said that for the same reason, key players have been rested for the previous white-ball series. India has won the Border Gavaskar Trophy in the last three series and Australia considers India's series more important than the Ashes series. We can't wait for November 22nd. Yes! First test starts in Perth.
