Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Australia opener Marcus Harris ready for Tests against India

The Hindu  

Marcus Harris hit a patient and timely 74 against India A on Friday to thrust himself into prime contention to open for Australia in the first of five Tests against the tourists this month. The diminutive 32-year-old steered Australia A to 223 in reply to India A’s 161 on day two of their four-day match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground — seen as a bat-off for the Test spot left vacant by David Warner’s retirement. Four players were given a chance to state their case in two Australia A v India A red-ball clashes -- Harris, Nathan McSweeney, Cameron Bancroft and Sam Konstas. The 19-year-old Konstas put himself in the picture with back-to-back Sheffield Shield centuries for New South Wales this season which saw him hailed as Australia’s next big thing.
