The rest of the team just batted around him,” said Australian opener Harris on ‘Cricket Life Stories’ channel on Youtube.

Harris made his test debut against India in 2018 at Gabba after 7 years of hardwork in the domestic circuit.

In the series against India in 2020, he remained in the sidelines due to the presence of the experienced batsman, Joe Burns who performed the role of an opener.
