Travis WakelingHOST
We think he could be a big inclusion for them.
Travis WakelingHOST
Nikhil Chaudhary goes up to a, uh, a full contract now as well, which is a good news story.
Travis WakelingHOST
Uh, obviously made his Australian white-ball debut not long ago.
Travis WakelingHOST
But then a co- a couple of big outs.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
And then you had the X factor in Glenn Maxwell.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
So you speak to the selectors and they- George Bailey is on record talking about how they would ideally want someone like Tim David in the mix, um, you know, batting at six or seven, being that X factor player to be the next Glenn Maxwell, or do they look beyond? I mean, someone like a Nikhil Chaudhary, who now they have started picking in T20 cricket regularly.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
Could he be the answer, or does Ol- Ollie Pick kind of get into that team at five or six? Because the one thing you do need, and that's where Cam Green will be, uh, you know, will give more, get more chances, especially in 50-over cricket is, is with his bowling.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
I mean, obviously his shoulder, uh, is, you know, under scrutiny right now, and there'll be more focus on him bowling in those test matches like we spoke about last week as well.

So a lot needs to, a lot of boxes need to be ticked for Australia in the next 12 months.
BillHOST
And then the tail tried to do their bit.
BillHOST
Nikhil Chaudhary, 34.
BillHOST
Uh, Will Prestidge, 39, and Matthew Kundeman, 27 not out at the end.
BillHOST
But they just didn't quite have the firepower to get over the line.
Josh SchonafingerHOST
But they have upgraded a lot of players who have sort of been, um, regulars for them in a sense.
Josh SchonafingerHOST
Uh, Nikhil Chaudhary gets a spot on the full list, so does Ben McDermott, and so does Raf McMullen.
Josh SchonafingerHOST
So not wholesale changes there at all.
Josh SchonafingerHOST
Um, they're gonna back in the squad that they've got, and I mean, this is another state that has a bevy of fast bowling options to choose from.
Jack PaynterGUEST
So, um, th- they've kind of got some, a little bit to sort out there in the, in their top order as to which way they wanna go, especially after the loss of Weatherald.
Jack PaynterGUEST
So, um, yeah, a few options.
Jack PaynterGUEST
Uh, Nikhil Chaudhary adds a bit of depth to the middle order, and his, his bowling's come a long way as well.
Jack PaynterGUEST
Um, but obviously he's, he's earned selection in the Australian T20 squad as well, so they might not see a little bit of, of him during, um, November when Australia play England.
