Shane Warne has urged selectors to blood an uncapped leg-spinner in the Test team in a quest to unearth Nathan Lyon’s understudy.
Warne declared Swepson the nation’s next best spin-bowling option behind established star Nathan Lyon and said the pair could play together in the third Test in Sydney.
“Swepson, to me, has elevated himself already this year,” Warne said. “If something happened to Nathan Lyon, I think Mitchell Swepson would probably come into the side.“But I’d like to see us pick a wrist spinner, an attacking option, not a safe option with a finger spinner.” “If anything happens to Nathan Lyon we’re in real trouble because he’s so good, but I think we’ve got to look at these next spinners,” he said.
