Matthew Short Admits Spin Weakness as Australia Test Roles in Tied India T20 Series

Australia is using the tied India series to trial roles before a World Cup in spin-friendly conditions.

Overview

  • The five-match T20 series stands at 1-1 after three games, with the fourth set for Thursday in Carrara.
  • Short said his batting against spin needs work ahead of the World Cup in India and Sri Lanka early next year.
  • He identified Varun Chakravarthy as difficult to pick, with the Indian mystery spinner taking four wickets in the series.
  • Short indicated he is open to moving down the order as selectors assess players in different roles.
  • Australia will be without Josh Hazlewood for the rest of the series as he focuses on Ashes preparations, with Short backing the remaining attack.
