While India had named their squad for the series a couple of weeks ago, Australia announced their team for the first Test on Sunday (November 10).  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Australia&#8217;s squad announcement witnesses the inclusion of two uncapped Test players &#8211; Josh Inglis and Nathan McSweeney. While a lot is known of Inglis as he has already represented Australia in white-ball cricket, McSweeney is an unknown commodity at the international level.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who is Nathan McSweeney?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Nathan McSweeney is a right-handed batter who also bowls part-time right-arm off-break. He plays domestic cricket for South Australia and has made rapid strides at the first-class level recently. The 25-year-old averages 38.16 at the first-class level and has six centuries and 12 fifties to his credit.<\/p>\n<p>McSweeney has accumulated 2252 runs in first-class cricket and has also racked up 845 runs in the List- A format. He averages 42.25 in List-A cricket and has a century and eight fifties to his name in 22 games. He has claimed 18, seven and four wickets in\u00a0first-class, List-A and T20 cricket respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Born on March 8, 1999, in Brisbane, Queensland, McSweeney was named in Australia&#8217;s squad for the ICC Men&#8217;s U19 World Cup 2018. He was the third-leading run-getter for Australia at the U19 Men&#8217;s World Cup 2018 behind teammate Jack Edwards (216 runs) and skipper Jason Sangha (229 runs).<\/p>\n<p>McSweeney amassed 211 runs in four innings at an average of 70.33 and a strike rate of 107.10 at the global event and also struck a century (156 off 111 balls) against Papua New Guinea. He had scored 23 runs off 29 balls in the final of the tournament.    <\/p>\n<p>Australia had posted 216 runs in the final against the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/prithvi-shaw\" rel=\"noopener\">Prithvi Shaw<\/a>-led India and it was not enough. India chased the target down with 67 balls to spare as Manjot Kalra\u00a0(101* off 102 balls) smashed a match-winning hundred\u00a0and routed Australia by eight wickets. Notably, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/shubman-gill\" rel=\"noopener\">Shubman Gill<\/a> was named the Player of the Tournament for scoring 372 runs.<\/p>\n<p>McSweeney has also played for two teams in the Big Bash League (BBL). He made his BBL debut for Melbourne Renegades in the 2019\/20 season and has been playing for Brisbane Heat since then.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/who-is-nathan-mcsweeney-uncapped-batter-named-in-australia-squad-for-1st-test-of-border-gavaskar-trophy-2024-11-10-960907\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY IMAGES Nathan McSweeney.
