Obviously Talks Are Going On With Them: Pat Cummins On Harris And Bancroft Future In Test Squad
With Steven Smith: In the wake of David Warner's retirement, the Australian cricket team is undergoing a strategic shuffle, and captain Pat Cummins has been proactive in maintaining communication with overlooked players Cameron Bancroft and Marcus Harris. Despite not making the current Test squad, Cummins reassured them of their continued consideration.
With Steven Smith elevated to the opening slot and Cameron Green returning at No. 4 against the West Indies, Cummins emphasized that Bancroft and Harris, both specialist openers, are still valued for their contributions in first-class cricket. Bancroft, the leading Sheffield Shield run-scorer last season, and Harris, with a central contract, have been encouraged to stay on course as potential replacements in the future.
“Obviously private phone calls, but no real surprises," Cummins said in Adelaide. "We love what they both are doing in first-class cricket. We love what they bring to any side they're playing in. They're doing all the right things. Unfortunately, they both just missed out on this one. So (the) message was 'don't change'.
