This upcoming tour has added meaning for the participants. Coach Justin Langer says batting spots for he October UAE series against Pakistan are wide open and any one of the A boys can clinch a spot with strong performances in India. There are some talented youngsters in the A squad.
For starters there is Kurtis Patterson.. the stylish Blues left hander who has been knocking on national selection now for several years. Matthew Renshaw must now be a cert to return to the Test opening spot after a terrific off season in England where he compiled three county centuries. Usman Khawaja should also be reinstated if for no other reason as mentor to the young blokes. On a sour note how does Peter Handscomb continue to be picked with his suss technique?
Australia A Squad:
Mitchell Marsh(c), Alex Carey, Ashton Agar, Brendan Doggett, Peter Handscomb, Travis Head, Jon Holland, Usman Khawaja, Michael Neser, Joel Paris, Kurtis Patterson, Matt Renshaw, Mitchell Swepson, Chris Tremain.
