Australian cricket legend reveals the 'unlucky' player he believes will be squeezed out of the starting 11 for the World Cup. 9WWOS Cricket
Coach Justin Langer has already admitted whoever misses out will be “desperately unlucky,” and Taylor, who captained Australia at the 1996 World Cup, agrees.
“If Australia are one for not many, Khawaja might be handy at three, but if Australia gets off to a reasonable start, you probably want someone who’s a little more explosive at three.”During Taylor’s reign as captain, a number of players put together domestic careers that would have made them certain selections at most other times in history.
“It won’t sit well with him, and nor should it, because Usman wants to play every game for Australia.Taylor admits there’s a case for keeping the successful Finch-Khawaja pairing together, given Australia’s eight match winning streak, but feels the selectors should bite the bullet at the start of the tournament.
