Victoria opener Marcus Harris has been included in the Australian team for the day-night Test match between India and Australia starting in Adelaide on 17 December. Harris was ruled out for the first Test after Australian opener David Warner was injured while fielding in the second ODI against India and was fed as his substitute during the first practice match against Will Pukowski. Has been added to the team.
Harris has played nine Tests for Australia so far, in which he has scored 385 runs at an average of 24.06. He had also scored 239 runs against South Australia at the recent Sheffield Shield Games.
Australian selector Trevor Hons said, “After the players have been injured in recent weeks, we are fortunate to have been able to bring a player like Harris to the Test team.” Harris is in great form for Victoria this season and has a chance to play in both practice matches against India. “We are also disappointed when David Warner is not available for the first Test match,” said Hons. . We have adopted the traditional approach to managing Will’s injury and it is expected that Warner will be available for selection until the Boksung Day match. “
