Former Captain Ricky Ponting believes that Australia should consider making a shock call and bringing an all -terrain mite Owen to replace Mitch Marsh injured for his next Trophy campaign of Men’s Men’s Champions of ICC. Marsh, a key figure in the Australia Limited-Overs configuration, was discarded from the next event last month due to a back injury and national selectors have until February 12 to finish their replacement and present their final team of 15 15 to the ICC. .
Australia has not yet appointed a replacement, but Ponting suggested the name of Owen, who dominated the recent Big Bash League, and believes that the 23 -year -old can take the step to the international level quickly if he is given the opportunity.
I’m not sure what way they will go to be honest. I do not know if they have been watching the BBL (Big Bash League), but we have had a child who has just out of now The CPI.
In the BBL, Owen led the annotation lists with 452 races at a sensational attack rate of 203.60. He also managed to obtain three chasing leathers with his average rhythm and ended up winning a contract with Paarl Royals in the SA20 League.
“It is also an SUV, probably more adequate (as a replacement for Marsh). I mean, Mitch Marsh has hit the top three in the Cricket of a day, mainly in recent years anyway.
“Mitch Owen has opened the batting in the Crickt T20 and opened the batting for Tasmania in the (Odi domestic competition) this season, which is our 50 format.
“Look, honestly, I would be surprised if he is, but I think the selectors now know that there is a high quality replacement there,” Ponting added.
Australia will begin his Champions Trophy campaign against England on February 22 at the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore.
Australian preliminary squad: Pat Cummins (C), Alex Carey, Nathan Ellis, Aaron Hardie, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Matt Short, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa.
