Australian star Marcus Harris returns to Gloucestershire this season determined to book his spot in this summer’s Ashes squad.
Harris hit three centuries and two fifties in Division One of the County Championship last season, with 726 runs in total in his nine matches and returns, having helped Victoria to the Sheffield Shield final, where he made 19 and 1 as they were beaten by Western Australia.
Harris, 30, is not currently in the Australian side but was part of the Test squad for five home Tests during their summer without playing. He did not travel to India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy but told the Cricinfo website that, in conversations with Australia chairman of selectors George Bailey and coach Andrew McDonald, it has been made clear that he remains on their radar to play in England because of his experience there.
