Mitchell Swepson:
The promising leg-spinner’s is a serious contender for the Ranchi Test. With the series levelled 1-1, Steven Smith might not choose to tinker with his spin bowling attack featuring Steve O’ Keefe and Nathan Lyon. But let’s think over about the gamble of playing Mitchell Swepson playing in place of O’ Keefe.
The leggie is a consistent wicket-taker and a highly promising name who has taken giant strides in the last two years. His Sheffield Shield form led to his selection in the ‘Australia A’ team which played against India A in 2016. He returned with 14 wickets at an average of 19.35 to solidify his status as an upcoming spinner. Swepson has all the qualities to be the surprise weapon.
