Ex-Australia Star, Who Played 23 Tests, To Represent Italy In Tribute To Brother

Former Australia Test opener Joe Burns said Tuesday he will represent Italy in their bid to reach the 2026 T20 World Cup in tribute to his late brother. The 34-year-old, who has Italian heritage, will have 85 on his back for his new country -- the year of his brother's birth and the same number his sibling wore in local Australian cricket. Burns, who lost his brother Dominic in February, played 23 Tests for Australia between 2014 and 2020. "This isn't just a number and this isn't just a jersey," Burns wrote on Instagram, together with a picture of an Italian team top with the number 85 on it.
