Australia cannot win in India by being conservative: Ian Healy hopes Cummins will make bold selection calls

An injured marred Australia will be taking on India in the first Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy on February 9. Legendary wicket-keeper Ian Healy has already stirred the pot by saying that Australia will win if India make sporting pitches and not rank turners across four venues. Speaking to SENQ Breakfast radio, Healy spoke about Australia's injury concerns and explained that the team will have to make bold selection calls if they want to win in India. Scott Boland will be primed to make the starting XI after a sensational start to his Test career, but Lance Morris will be called upon if the team decides to play three specialist pacers.
