Spencer Johnson and Xavier Bartlett have announced themselves as potential long-term international prospects.
Signed with the Brisbane Heat to the end of 2028, Spencer Johnson declared he and Xavier Bartlett had what it would take to be Australia’s future spearheads.
Bartlett took eight wickets in two one-day appearances and 11 from seven T20s, while Johnson’s 14 scalps in eight T20s was highlighted by figures of 5/26 against Pakistan in November. But he believed when he did return, he and Bartlett would issue another reminder of why they must factor in Australia’s World Cup plans, and even next year’s Champions Trophy.“Without looking too far ahead, what’s in front of me now is 10 Big Bash games, and if I perform there, then I’m sure that stuff will look after itself,” Johnson said.
Johnson’s rise, which has included lucrative Indian Premier League deals, has been limited to cricket’s shorter formats, but he remains hopeful of one day joining the Test fold.
