Can Nathan McSweeney Fill-In The Shoes Of David Warner?
The 25-year-old has a huge task at his disposal, as the Australia-A will be partnering veteran Usman Khawaja at the top for Australia. The slot was earlier acquired by legendary David Warner, who has now retired from international cricket.
Nathan McSweeney is coming off a successful two-match unofficial Test series against India-A, where he led his side from the front to seal a whitewash series win.
The Brisbane-based cricketer scored 166 runs in 4 innings, at an average of 55.33, which included an unbeaten 88 during the second innings of the 1st unofficial Test match.
