“It sounds like they will stick with David Warner for the WTC”- Mark Taylor
Mark Taylor, a former Australian cricket captain and current analyst for Nine Network’s Ashes coverage, believes that if David Warner is selected to play against India, he should play the first two Tests against England.
“If I am reading the tea leaves right, it sounds like they will stick with David Warner for the World Test Championship at The Oval, And if that’s the way Australia are thinking about the World Test Championship, then yes, they have to start with him for the Ashes,” Mark Taylor told AAP.
