Former Australian captain Michael Clarke has fiercely criticized the national selectors for dropping Nathan McSweeney midway through the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India. McSweeney, who was handed the opening role earlier in the series, has been replaced by Sam Konstas for the final two Tests.
McSweeney's dismissal comes after a series of underwhelming performances, with scores of 10, 0, 39, 10, 9, and 4 across six innings. However, Clarke believes the selectors should have persisted with the young opener instead of making a hasty decision.
