Ian Chappell Urges Selectors To See Batting Form Instead Of Off-field Personality For Selecting Australia’s Next Test Opener
Ian Chappell: With Australia hunting for its next Test opener after David Warner’s retirement, legendary cricketer Ian Chappell urged the selectors to focus on form with the bat, instead of off-field personality.
His comments come in the light of the relationship between one of leading contenders, opener Cameron Bancroft and the Australia bowlers group, being not too good, especially in the aftermath of the 2018 sandpaper-gate scandal.
After being banned alongside Steven Smith and David Warner, Bancroft had suggested Australia's bowlers knew about the condition of the ball being altered by him in the field, which was denied by the bowling quarter of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Nathan Lyon in a joint statement.
