Ricky Ponting, the ex-Aussie cricket skipper, believes Cameron Bancroft should take over from David Warner in the Test squad. Bancroft is been a star in the Sheffield Shield, scoring heaps of runs, making him a solid choice.
Although Bancroft missed out on the Ashes squad earlier, Ponting reckons his consistent Shield performances deserve a chance. Still, it’s not an easy race. Marcus Harris and Matt Renshaw are in contention too. The upcoming game against Pakistan will be their time to shine and prove themselves.
Ponting also thinks Cameron Green needs to earn his spot back through top-notch performances for Western Australia. Plus, he is backing Glenn Maxwell for a Test comeback after his incredible success in limited-overs cricket.
The announcement of the Test squad for the Perth match is eagerly awaited after the Shield games and the Pakistan match. Fans are buzzing to see who gets the nod to replace Warner in the upcoming Test showdowns.
