Coach Darren Lehmann has made it clear that Australia’s controversial bowler rotation policy, designed to guard against them breaking down from too much cricket, is over — which means Harris will not be rested.
Harris dismissed speculation he may bowl in shorter spells to preserve his injury-prone body.
“I’ll be all guns blazing here,” he said. “I’m not going to miss a Test unless I really have to. I’ve said that from the start, I’m here to play five.
“If I was only going in bowling 30, 35 overs I wouldn’t play because you can’t have that. It puts pressure on the other bowlers. So I’m going in as if I’m bowling 50 overs, it doesn’t really matter how many I bowl.”
