Cricket: Cricket Australia have decided to extend the contract of coach Andrew McDonald.
Cricket Australia extend McDonald deal | 00:26Before Sam Konstas emerged as a future star of Test cricket this month, the most hyped cricketer in the country was Jake Fraser-McGurk, who is set to re-emerge in Australian colours in the one- day series against Pakistan beginning at the MCG on Monday.
But the three match ODI series against Pakistan, which also features matches in Adelaide on Friday and Perth on Sunday week, along with three T20 matches to follow next week will provide crucial intelligence for the ICC Champions Trophy in February. “What that looks like for Pakistan, I’d say they’d be much the same. They’d be building towards something in terms of playing the Champion’s Trophy with that white ball team. There’s been a bit of turnover there. But it’s up to them as to where they head.”
Pakistan has also replaced Babar Azam, who stepped down as captain earlier in October, with Mohammad Rizwan in another example of the “turnover” McDonald alluded to when speaking outside the MCG on Thursday., leading Australian journalist Robert Craddock said it was remarkable Pakistan had been able to prevail over England given the chaotic environment off the field.
