Border Gavaskar Trophy IND vs AUS: This player will debut in the first test match, danger bell for India; Such a coincidence will happen after 35 years
Australia captain Pat Cummins confirmed on Wednesday that the selectors have picked the team. Although he has not disclosed it. Off-spinner Todd Murphy can debut in Nagpur Test.
The Australian team has made up its mind to include uncapped Todd Murphy in the playing XI for the first Test against India. Off-spinner Todd Murphy can make his Test debut in the first match of the four-match Test series. This is the first time since 1988 that Australia will field two specialist off-spinners. According to media reports, Murphy’s family has been told by Cricket Australia and because of this he has left Australia to join the Nagpur Test.
Australian captain Pat Cummins told on Wednesday that the selectors have chosen the team. But the captain himself did not reveal the playing XI. Cummins said the 22-year-old Murphy is as ready as he can be. He said that he is bowling well in the nets. According to a report in The Daily Telegraph, Todd Murphy can debut in the first match and it is believed that his family is also going to reach Nagpur.
The 22-year-old toured Sri Lanka with Australia A in 2022. He took four wickets for 52 runs in Hambantota. Australia haven’t had two right-arm off-spinners in their bowling line-up since the last time they fielded a pair of Tim May and Peter Taylor on a tour of Pakistan in 1988.
