NEW DELHI: Former wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist questioned the selectors about whether they had deviated from their "top six batters" policy after Cricket Australia confirmed that Nathan McSweeney would open the batting in the opening match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
He contended that Josh Inglis, who had been included as a reserve batsman, should make his Test debut against India in Perth and open the batting alongside Usman Khawaja.
