Cricket Australia hint at uncertain future for Shane Watson – Cricket News Update
In the wake of Shane http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Howard-c63371, said that the management is willing to sit down and discuss the matter with the all-rounder, but conceded that they are certainly
looking at multi-skilled players for the national team.
Watson’s injury woes again took centre stage despite the team emphatically wrapping up a series’ win over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 after winning the second Test by an innings margin. However, the inevitable news soon followed, with the selectors revealing that Watto will
miss the dead rubber next week after aggravating a calf strain during the bout.
That further prompted the 31-year-old to openly declare his thoughts over re-shaping his role, and performing as an out and out batter. He had previously denied any such beliefs but after missing all of the home summer last year, and remaining absent for
the most part of the ongoing season, Watson admitted that it was time that he managed his workload according to the demands of his body.
While that thought remains up for debate, in all probability, that would considerably affect Watson’s chances of becoming an outright choice for the national team’s future endeavours. His performances in the longer version bouts over the past 12 months have
been mediocre, while his bowling contributions have also become minimal.
Moreover, the decision to include Victorian all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Maxwell-c60189, for the upcoming Sydney clash suggests that the selectors are keen to field in players who can benefit the team with more than just one skill.
"At the end of the Test series Shane will have the opportunity to sit down with a few of us and have that discussion," Howard said. "The selectors have been very keen on having people who are multi-skilled across the board. You've seen many of our players
bowl this summer, even the wicketkeeper. I think the selectors are open to discussion with any player regarding how they see they can get the best out of them. If http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 opens that dialogue he's free to do that, and to be judged on those performances.
