Langer insists on playing Burns despite calls to play Pucovski

Despite there being calls to let 22-year-old Will Pucovski debut in the first Test against India in the upcoming four-match series, Australian head coach Justin Langer has reiterated that he would want continue opening the batting with senior batsman Joe Burns.

Former Australia captain Mark Taylor had said that Australia should now try Pucovski at the top and look to the future by cultivating the youngster. But Langer disagrees.

“We can’t underestimate the stability in the team, we are the number one ranked team in the world. A lot of that has to do with the partnership between David Warner and Joe Burns,” he was quoted as saying by Channel Nine.

The four-Test series is currently slated to start with the pink-ball match at the Adelaide Oval from December 17.
