Australia opener Jake Weatherald will play a Test match in Darwin with a modified technique that he will unveil against Bangladesh in a series of vital importance on a personal front. The 31-year-old was born and raised in Darwin where his career kicked off after playing with Northern Territory Strike. “I think he needs to rectify that, and I think he needs runs in these two Test matches to be picked for South Africa,” Waugh said. Weatherald said that it was “a challenge, especially when people you respect say things about your batting”, but added the scrutiny was part and parcel of Test cricket. The opportunity to score runs in Darwin is one that excites not just Weatherald but also the many Territorians who admire him.
