India vs Australia: Great opportunity to play senior role in 1st Test with David Warner injury, says Joe Burns

India Today  

India is in Australia for a full-fledged cricketing tour of 3 ODIs, the series that was recently won 2-1 by Australia, followed by as many T20Is and 4 Tests. The Test series will start on December 17 and injured David Warner, who will miss the T20Is, could also miss the 1st Test. The 31-year-old Burns, who has been Warner’s partner in several seasons, is eyeing a senior role as Warner could miss the 1st Test. Before the start of the 4-match Test series, the visiting Indian side is scheduled to play a couple of 3-day tour games, the 2nd game being a Day/Night fixture, against Australia A. Burns has said that the tours games will be the hosts’ preparations to keep India on the back foot so that Australia land the first punch. “The focus is always about trying to win games and starting this week with Australia A, it’s about getting our preparations sorted for the Test series but also putting India on the back foot, landing the first punch and making sure they don’t take any momentum into what’s going to be a fantastic series,” he added.
