Mumbai, October 23: Legendary Australia wicketkeeper Ian Healy said he is firmly against David Warner coming out of retirement to open the batting for Australia in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India, adding that the selectors need to commit towards future players. Previously, Warner, who retired from international cricket after this year슬롯사이트™s Men슬롯사이트™s T20 World Cup in June, said to Australian media that he was prepared to come out of retirement for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series and revealed about sending a text message to head coach Andrew McDonald.

"No (on Warner coming back for Australia). You슬롯사이트™d need to commit to playing in the pathway if you슬롯사이트™re going to play for Australia. Then Australia has to commit to its future. Are we going to go young men? Or are we going to go (elsewhere)?

"He슬롯사이트™s found his Baggy Green and he wants to wear it again. I슬롯사이트™d like to find out more about how this happened, whether he was just doing some media interviews and they said, 슬롯사이트˜Would you consider coming back and filling that hole at the top or not?슬롯사이트�, or, 슬롯사이트˜Oh yeah, I슬롯사이트™d do that슬롯사이트�. It was either tongue-in-cheek or he answered a question and said, 슬롯사이트˜Yeah, I슬롯사이트™d do that for them슬롯사이트�," said Healy on SEN Radio.

With Australia looking to fill the vacancy to partner Usman Khawaja at the top after Steve Smith, who briefly filled the gap in Warner슬롯사이트™s absence, moving back to number four, Healy said he would open with Mitch Marsh and bat wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis at number six.

"I슬롯사이트™m waiting another week (before picking him). I슬롯사이트™d like to see him make more free-flowing runs. I슬롯사이트™m open to it, I like the young man theory. But at this stage, if they have to resort back to something else then I슬롯사이트™m putting Mitchell Marsh to opener and I슬롯사이트™m putting Josh Inglis in at six.

"No other batsman has made back-to-back hundreds so why aren슬롯사이트™t we picking Inglis? We seem to be overlooking Josh Inglis in WA. He슬롯사이트™s batting with his elbows out. Back-to-back hundreds, so he should make the team as a bat."

Healy signed off by saying young opener Sam Konstas as a future player for the Test team after he hit a solid 43 against Victoria at the MCG in the Sheffield Shield. "The selectors will have an eye on what they know about a player, and they슬롯사이트™ll know they are good enough to take the next step.

"Sometimes it슬롯사이트™s this bit, the speculation, and the microscope prior to selection that슬롯사이트™s harder than actually playing when you get there. You can relax, just play and do a job for your new team, which is Australia. Sam Konstas made 43 yesterday and it was a lot of hard work, the wicket슬롯사이트™s not particularly easy, Scott Boland is going extremely well.

"He worked hard and got through a new type of innings for him, so that was good. Reports are he showed some pluck. Is pluck what we슬롯사이트™re after? Or do we want a little bit more confidence or just pluck in the Australian side at this stage? I슬롯사이트™m sure he can make it. Just tell him to go for it, play naturally and he could kill it."
