Matthew Wade is confident he can do the number six position justice in the upcoming Sydney Test again Sri Lanka after captain Michael Clarke declared Wade would likely move up in the absence of Shane Watson, according to ESPNcricinfo.
Usman Khawaja is on standby for Clarke, who is still carrying a hamstring niggle, but is not expected to replace the injured Watson, with the all-rounder Glenn Maxwell more likely to take Watson’s place. “I’d be comfortable moving up to number six if that’s what the team needed me to do to win a Test match,” said Wade.
“I’ve been lucky enough to bat at six for Victoria for a couple of years now. In terms of impact on keeping, it doesn’t make too much of a difference coming one up the order.”
