Ponting: Labuschagne to Open for Australia in WTC Final?

Ponting: Labuschagne to Open for Australia in WTC Final?

Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting thinks there might be some changes in the Australian cricket team for an upcoming big game.

He thinks Marnus Labuschagne, who usually bats in the middle order, might be asked to open the batting.

There's also a debate about who will play in the bowling attack.

Ponting believes that the team might want to stick with the players they're used to.

The coach will finalize the team when they get to London.

This is like when the team chose to keep David Warner in the team before a previous big final.

The choices are important because they affect how well the team plays in the big match.
