The Australian cricket team has made a change in the final time in their team before the Champions Trophy semi -final match against India, which includes reserve player Cooper Konoli in place of opener Matthew Short. Short suffered a hamstring injury during the match against Afghanistan on Friday.
Jack Fraser-Mackgark can get a chance
Regarding the short, Australian captain Steve Smith said two days ago that he would have difficulty in recovering before the semi -final match. In the absence of short, Jack Fraser-Macagark is expected to find a place in the playing XI against India. But it remains to be seen what attitude Australia takes after Konoli joins the team. Steve Smith and his players will take on India in the semi -finals of the Champions Trophy in Dubai on March 4.
This is Konoli’s international career.
Talking about Konoli, he has played 6 international matches for Australia so far, out of which three are ODIs. Konoli is a left -handed batsman and also bowls spin. The 21 -year -old player has not yet had an impressive record with the ball or bat, but after seeing the impact of India’s spin invasion against New Zealand in Dubai, the Kangaroo team has considered his name.
This is Zampa’s record against India.
32 -year -old Zampa can become a headache for Indian batsmen in Dubai. Jampa has so far played 23 ODIs against India, in which he has taken 35 wickets at an economy rate of 5.61. Zampa’s best performance against India is 4 wickets for 45 runs.
Australian team for semi-final match against India: Steve Smith (captain), Scene Abbott, Alex Carrie, Cooper Connoli, Ben Dwarshis, Nathan Elis, Jack Fraser-Macgark, Aaron Hardy, Travis Head, Josh English, Spenser Johnson, Marnas Labushen, Glenn Maxwell, Tanvir Sangh, Tanvir Sangh, Tanvir Sangh, Tanvir Sangh.
