The pace attack of the Australian cricket team, which has been mainly carried by the old guns, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood, is likely to miss some of the upcoming matches as Cricket Australia (CA) wants to protect their best talents from injuries. An excessive number of matches often led cricketers to long-term injuries, forcing them to miss crucial matches.
To protect the top talents, the board needs proper backups. The current Aussie Test team contains multiple senior cricketers, who are in their thirties, across the departments. In the process of forming an extended set of players, the selection panel is keeping a keen eye on the 31-year-old fast bowler Billy Stanlake. Stanlake is considered a highly talented bowler, but never reached the heights he could have because of injury.
Billy Stanlake played for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Indian cricket fans might have remembered Bully Stanlake for his stints in the IPL for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Sunrisers Hyderabad during the 2017 and 2018 seasons, respectively. Alongside taking 7 wickets in 6 IPL matches, the Australian quick was impressive in the Big Bash League as well, taking 58 wickets.
George Bailey confirms Billy Stanlake is in contention for the Test team selection
Stanlake has been included in the squad for the upcoming series in Zimbabwe and South Africa, and could be in the mix for the Tests as Australia wants to enrich their resources.
"We're certainly interested, yeah, absolutely... [We are] not rushing at it and understanding that he's missed a large chunk of it [red-ball cricket] over a period of time. But there are some fundamentals in the way he goes about it and the skill set that I think, at its best,t could certainly have a place at the Test level. So, that's something that we will look to explore in the near future," George Bailey said about Billy Stanlake, the head of the selectors for the Australia National Cricket Team, told the media on Tuesday.
