BGT 2024-25: Richardson 'excited' To Return To Australia Test Squad For Last Two Games Against India
Boxing Day Test: Australia pacer Jhye Richardson is excited over his return to the Test side for the final two games against India in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
Australia have added Richardson as an extra pace option in the squad after a calf injury ruled Josh Hazlewood out of the series. Richardson admitted he was somewhat surprised by his call-up to Australia’s squad for the Boxing Day Test but feels "really good" about the prospect of an international comeback against India.
Richardson, who featured for the Perth Scorchers on Saturday in Hobart, will skip Monday night’s match against Melbourne Renegades to prepare for a potential Test return. The 28-year-old pacer and teenage opener Sam Konstas were the two fresh faces named in Australia’s 15-player squad for the remainder of the series.
