Four spinners have been included in the Kangaroo team for the four-Test series against India. Off-spinner Todd Murphy made a lot of noise in first class cricket. Seeing his excellent performance, he was given a place in the team. If we look at the entire squad of Australia, Todd Murphy, Ashton Agar, Mitchell Swepson and Nathan Lyon are included as spin bowlers. The selectors of Cricket Australia thought it appropriate to give preference to Todd Murphy against Adam Zampa.

Chief selector praised

George Bailey, the chief selector of the Australian men’s cricket team, justified Murphy’s selection. The chief selector says Murphy impressed with his performance in the Sheffield Shield. Apart from this, he also performed well for Australia A and Prime Minister’s XI. According to George Bailey, Todd Murphy has made rapid progress in domestic cricket and more recently impressed with his performances for Australia A. Based on those performances, Murphy has emerged as a strong spin option. His selection in the team provides an opportunity to spend time in India with Nathan Lyon and assistant coach Daniel Vettori. Which will prove invaluable for their development. Apart from him, uncapped player Lance Maurice has also got a place in the Kangaroo team. Maurice is a fast bowler.
