With the Australian cricket team stuck in a dilemma about who should open the innings at the World Cup, former captain Ian Chappell has said that it would serve the team best if David Warner were to return to his position as opener alongside skipper Aaron Finch. While Finch is unlikely to move from his position, the toss up is between Khawaja and the returning Warner and Chappell believes the latter is the right man for the job.
“You don’t waste the psychological advantage the dynamic left-hander provides at the top of the order.
“As an opener, Warner makes opposing bowlers and captains nervous, and that is an advantage you don’t squander.”
