Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson has urged Cricket Australia (CA) to find a way to get power-hitter Tim David into the side for this year’s ICC T20 World Cup at home.
Born in Singapore, David has had sporadic opportunities to play for the Perth Scorchers and Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League (BBL) and for Singapore in the T20 World Cup qualifiers in 2019. He was bought by Mumbai Indians in the IPL mega auction for a mind-boggling sum of Rs 8.25 crore, given his ability to destroy any bowling with his power-hitting.

On Friday, as Australia marked 100 days to the ICC T20 World Cup at Melbourne, Watson said David is a “very, very rare” talent.
Mathew Wade and Marcus Stoinis may have delivered as Australia’s death overs speciallist but still Watson believes that captain Aaron Finch should include David into the XI.

“If he’s (David) in the squad and he’s made himself available for Australia … then I’d fit him in really anywhere,” Watson said of the versatile batter, who has largely come as a finisher but has also occasionally batted at No.3.
