MELBOURNE: Legendary Australian wicket-keeper Ian Healy has taken a potshot at India, pronouncing the speculation in the back of Pat CumminsThe aspect now not enjoying a excursion recreation within the subcontinent forward of the Test collection is as a result of “we no longer trust” the amenities equipped by means of the host country.
Australia is not going to play a unmarried excursion recreation forward of the four-Test Border-Gavaskar collection and a member of the squad, usman khawajahad mentioned not too long ago that there was once no level enjoying apply video games because the wickets ready for excursion fixtures and exact suits in India had been very other.
“Have you ever been pre-tour with us (Australia)? They can be spinning wickets when we play but we go to the practice matches and they are green Gabba-like wickets out there (in India), so what’s the point,” Khawaja had mentioned all over a press convention previous this month.
Healy subsidized Khawaja’s advice, pronouncing it was once a good suggestion to gather the traveling celebration spinners in Sydney forward of the excursion to acclimatise them to copy India pitches.
“We’ve gathered our spinners in Sydney for strategic talks (on replica India surfaces)… we no longer trust that the requested facilities will be provided for a nation,” Healy mentioned on SEN Radio on Monday.
“We’ve been part of this shenanigan too by the way… when we’re over (in England) we spend our time whinging about the weakened county teams that England put up as our opposition before the series.”
Healy mentioned he does not like the fashion of house forums getting ready other units of wickets for excursion video games and exact suits, including that it quantities to a breach of “trust”.
“Our focus in cricket has shifted from creating opportunities and experiences for our best up and coming cricketers… now we deny touring teams quality preparation before very highly anticipated series and I don’t like it.
“It’s disappointing to observe such dismantling of agree with between cricket’s countries and it wishes to forestall,” added Healy.
Australia begin their Test series against India at Nagpur on February 9 and Khawaja had said recently that it was a “just right thought” not to play tour games, indicating they serve little purpose.
“I believe we’ve in spite of everything realized. When I heard we were not going to have a tradition recreation I went as much as (head trainer) Andrew McDonald and mentioned, ‘Good thought’,” Khawaja had said recently.
Australia haven’t won a Test series in India since 2004/05 and are keen to turn around their fortunes in the subcontinent during the upcoming tour.
“Touring groups appear to all fight nowadays and right here we cross once more, we are going to India with out quite a lot of Indian apply beneath our belts, let on my own England later within the 12 months the place we have not received since 2001,” Healy added.
Healy, however, said that a tour match midway through the Test series would be a good idea to give the touring party’s seven reserves some match practice.
“In India they are (Australia) hoping the whole lot will click on and the squad freshens up with web apply… our training group of workers are content material with this and I’ll agree with them for now. I might, on the other hand, like to look a excursion fit between the second one and 3rd Test in India… I’d love to look a three-day recreation in order that our seven reserves (within the 18-man squad) we have now were given over there will have a just right hit out,” Healy added.
