We still have plenty of time for the BGT so anything could happen. Pant could also make his comeback, fingers crossed.
Steve Smith is new opener for Australia tour of WI. Warner retirement will surely bring a huge gap but Aussies have strong structure and they have replacement of every player. As far as Australia tour of WI is concerned, there is rear chance of WI win in any format. Might be due to home advantage WI can show some resistance but there is scarcity of competent players in WI squad.
Skipper is not interested in this idea. If the reports are true then Green is another potential candidate and his name is popping up for the opening.
