Australia will have a demanding schedule of 20 Tests over the next 12 months. With several senior fast bowlers managing heavier workloads, the team is exploring domestic options to strengthen its pace depth. Notably, the team suffered a defeat to Bangladesh in the first Test of the ongoing two-match series.
“It’s understood he [Stanlake] has been identified as a serious Test pace depth option given the heavy workload over the coming year,” the CODE Sports report stated.
The fast bowler has enjoyed greater success in T20 cricket, where he has taken 27 wickets in 19 internationals at an average of 20.14 and an economy rate of 7.77. In eight ODIs, he has taken seven wickets at 51.57.
