Australia opener Marcus Harris, who last played a Test match back in 2022 is one the candidates to take over the position. advertisementHarris was replaced in the Australian team by Usman Khawaja after his tremendous twin comeback hundreds during the Ashes 2021/22. “It does give me the confidence they have looked at me as being the next opener in line,” Harris told Sydney Morning Herald. At the time of dropping Harris, Australia captain Pat Cummins had said that the opener was not getting dropped on the basis of form. "I think he knew was it was coming," Cummins has said after the Sydney Test in 2022.
