AUS vs IND | Justin Langer hints at Matthew Wade to open innings in 1st Test, Labuschagne to stay at No. 3

India TV News  

Australia head coach Justin Langer on Tuesday stated that Marnus Labuschagne won't be opening the innings in the first Test of the upcoming four-match series against India. The Aussies, who had initially named David Warner, Will Pucovski and Joe Burns as openers for the first Test, suffered twin blows with Warner getting injured and Pucovski getting a blow on his head. Marnus won't be opening so we have got Joe Burns and Harris who are the openers, we have got tough decisions to make but as I have said before, tough decisions are good decisions, which means we have competition for spots," said Langer. Unfortunately, we get hit and if we can get through it and I can say only from my personal experience from what I have seen that if you can get through it then there is no reason why he can't he have a long domestic and hopefully international career," said Langer while also admitting that the team has been a bit disjointed due to injuries.
