TIL Desk Sports/ Australian pacemen James Faulkner and Nathan Coulter-Nile have been recalled in the 14-man ODI squad for the upcoming five-match series against India to be held in September and October.
Faulkner, who was shockingly dropped from the squad for the 2017 Champions Trophy earlier this year, seems to have earned the recall based on his vast experience in the subcontinent.
While Faulkner has been named only for the ODI series, Coulter-Nile has been included for the subsequent T-20I series as well.
Reflecting on the duo’s inclusion, national selector Trevor Hohns said that while Nathan brings raw pace to the side, Faulkner is a strong one-day campaigner.
“Nathan brings raw pace to the side with good variation. It is great to see him back from injury and we are hopeful he will have a big impact in this series,” Hohns, as saying.
“James Faulkner is a solid one-day campaigner and is very familiar with subcontinent conditions, coming off from a very good tour of Sri Lanka last year. We hope that he will take his chance in returning to the one-day side,” he added.
