Australia Look To Singapore-Born "Overall Package" In T20 Defence
Australia are banking on a rookie power-hitter born in Singapore to help them defend the Twenty20 World Cup on home turf later this month.

World Cup, scheduled to be held in India, Shubman Gill will in all probability be one of the first-choice picks. The 23-year-old's game is modelled perfectly for ODIs and Tests and it is very good to see him not being pushed into T20Is, despite him being a regular in the IPL. He is yet to play a T20I match. The tournament that someone like Shubman will be eyeing the most right now is of course the next edition of the ODI World Cup next year.
