Perth, Nov 12 (UNI) Australia's next Test opener Nathan McSweeney has revealed he has already started his preparations on how to cope with the threat of India's potent pace bowling attack during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar series.
Some impressive recent performances at domestic level and for Australia A saw McSweeney included in Australia's 13-player squad for the series opener in Perth and the uncapped right-hander looks almost certain to partner Usman Khawaja at the top of the Aussies' batting order for the crucial ICC World Test Championship contest.
While McSweeney looked composed against the new ball when thrust into the opening position against India A at the MCG last week, the 25-year-old faces a different proposition in Perth when he will face up against the likes of star quick Jasprit Bumrah and enigmatic pacer Mohammed Siraj.
