Healy Sees McSweeney As Australia's Future Test Captain
Gavaskar Trophy Series: Former Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy was impressed by Nathan McSweeney's first innings performance for Australia A against India A in Mackay. He believes the 25-year-old has a strong chance of leading the national team at the Test level one day.
Skipper McSweeney’s gritty 39 off 131 balls against India A was the top inidividual score in Australia’s first innings score of 195. Healy believes his innings shows McSweeney is the most prepared to step into Australia’s Test side, ahead of Harris (17), Konstas (0), and Bancroft (0), who all failed to fire in.
"I was glad people could see how Nathan McSweeney can bat yesterday, he put his shots away for the good of the situation. I knew about him because he’s come from my club and the Australian selectors know about it because he’s played like that for South Australia and very well recently.
