In the meantime, Global T20 star Tim David has earned a call-up to the Australian side for the upcoming tour to India and the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 on the back of his hard-hitting performances in leagues across the world.
David's selection over leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson is the only change made in the side that brought the trophy home in the 2021 edition.
David was born to Australian parents in Singapore and he moved to Perth as a two-year-old kid. He has represented Singapore in 14 matches and has scored 558 runs at an average of 46.50 with four half-centuries.
David started his career with Perth Scorchers in Big Bash League but his move to Hobart Hurricanes in BBL 10 was when he started to make a name for himself, scoring an impressive 33-ball 58 on debut against reigning champs Sydney Sixers.
He also played one game for Tasmania in the 2021-22 Marsh One Day Cup against Western Australia, in which he smashed 36 off 23 balls and took 2/25. He also adds an X-factor to an already balanced Australian team.
