Ex-Test opener fails audition after Aussie quicks wreak havoc against Kiwis
Australia A’s quicks and Tasmanian batter Caleb Jewell have steered the hosts towards a commanding position in the first tour match against New Zealand A at Allan Border Field.
West Australian opener Cameron Bancroft, who made his most recent Test appearance in 2019, was given a chance to push his case in the Australia A series against the New Zealanders, but the 30-year-old failed to impress national selectors on Monday. Bancroft, the leading run-scorer of last season’s Sheffield Shield, is locked in a three-way battle with Marcus Harris and Matthew Renshaw for the opening position in Australia’s Test side, which will become vacant when David Warner hangs up the boots in January.Caleb Jewell of Australia A bats.
Former Black Caps representative Tom Bruce and opener Sean Solia steadied the ship, combining for a 59-run partnership for the third wicket before the Australia A seamers wreaked havoc on either side of lunch.
