There are only 10 days left for the first Ashes Test, which begins at the Gabba in Brisbane on 8 December. Cricket Australia (CA) are yet to decide who will be the wicket-keeper for the series after Tim Paine took an indefinite break from cricket following the sexting scandal.
The search has reportedly been limited to South Australian ‘keeper Alex Carey and West Australian Josh Inglis.
“A three-member panel of George Bailey, Justin Langer and Tony Dodemad will decide who is the Australian’s next Glove, two out of three that Inglis needs to get the job,” said a report in Sen.com. AU quoted the Herald Sun on Sunday.
Australian spin wizard Shane Warne recently wrote in his column for the Herald Sun that his vote for the wicketkeeper’s job would go to 26-year-old Inglis, who was born in the United Kingdom and moved to Australia at the age of 14.
“English gets my vote. He’s silky smooth hands behind the stumps, he’s a 360-degree player with the bat and three first-class hundreds last season for WA. He’s a great team man I’ve seen this year in London.” First saw in Spirit. He’s 26. Bang, bring him in,” Warne said recently.
Former Australian wicketkeeping great Ian Healy also heaped praise on Inglis, saying he might be given a chance, though he did not rule out the job for Carey.
“Well, I guess Carrie, I don’t think he did anything wrong for not getting the job, and he’s just 30 years old. Having said that, my pick would have been Josh Inglis. Carrie would definitely have a go. deserves, but if George Bailey (CA chairman of selectors) and his selectors say ‘no, we’re going to be young and build the future’, it looks like Josh Inglis absolutely jammed It’s your foot in the door,” Healy said recently.
tilting the balance in Inglis’ favor is the fact that he was recently inducted t20 world cup Squad over Carrie. Both were included in the Australia A squad after Paine was initially named as the sole keeper in the Ashes squad.
