“If experienced players are just clinging around for ash, it begs the question whether this is the right mindset. It is important that we embrace the future and create confidence in selecting our next test players. ,Johnson highlighted that talented players like Sam Constas, Josh England and Scott Bolland were eager to represent their country, but were not getting opportunities.“Despite being a player on fringes like Sam Constas, Josh England and Scott Bolland, despite being 36, there is a different mentality. They are eager to prove themselves to get a chance every time.”“I am not extremely criticizing for an aging team, which has achieved much together. Senior Balling Chaudi, Osman Khwaja, (Steve) Smith and (Marnas) Labschen have achieved some great things including our established players.

Johnson suggested that the upcoming West Indies Test series may provide opportunities for new players.“It is necessary to consider when is the right time to make some difficult calls. The upcoming three-test Windies seem to be a great opportunity to give worthy players a chance to shine, and Smith’s finger injury may be a silver lining to induce some regeneration. ,“It is important to find an expert no.3, and with the form that Labuschagne has shown in the last 18 months, it is difficult to justify taking it back to that situation. It will be really risky to try to make changes to all top-three batting slots at a time, and I don’t think the selectors will go on that route.”“Kostas Karghe as a solid option for pitches in the West Indies, especially with him with an experienced player in Khwaja.”
