The Ashes: Fourth Ashes Test: Marcus Harris expects David Warner to play at Old Trafford | Cricket News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: Marcus Harris of Australia is ready to make an impression if given a chance in the Ashes series against England, despite the fact that opener David Warner is expected to play the fourth Test at Old Trafford starting on Wednesday.
Warner’s future in the side is still up in the air following his twin failure in Leeds, where he was bowled by Stuart Broad in both innings as England won by three wickets to stay alive in the five-match series.
In the series, Warner has one half-century in six innings but has formed three fifty-plus opening partnerships with Usman Khawaja.
“Davey’s obviously a bit of a lightning rod for opinion,” Harris told reporters on Sunday.
“But I think they’ve done really well -– as an opening partnership when you can get the team off to a good start.
“Even if you’re not getting the big runs that you want to get, if you can still contribute to the team in some way, shape or form, I think you’re doing a job.”

“Even if you’re not getting the big runs that you want to get, if you can still contribute to the team in some way, shape or form, I think you’re doing a job.”
Australia is thinking about how to accommodate both Mitchell Marsh, who hit a century and took two wickets in Leeds, and the all-rounder he replaced, Cameron Green, who missed the third Test because of a hamstring strain.
Harris stated that if given the opportunity, he would take it with both hands.
“The training we can do now with how big the squad is as a collective… is as good, if not better, than playing a game of cricket,” said Harris, who played the last of his 14 Tests against England in Sydney last year.
“All you can do is prepare the best you can. Like we saw with Mitch (Marsh) last game, you never know when your chance will come up. “If I am called upon, I am ready to go.”
