## The race to replace David Warner: Who will be the next Aussie opener? David Warner’s career is in jeopardy following his elbow injury. The 36-year-old is set to miss the rest of the summer and there are doubts over whether he will be able to return to international cricket. Warner has been one of Australia’s most consistent performers in recent years; he is the team’s second-highest run-scorer in Tests and ODIs. His absence will be a big blow, and Australia will need to find a new opener to partner Usman Khawaja. There are several candidates in the running to replace Warner. Matt Renshaw, Marcus Harris and Will Pucovski are the most likely options. Renshaw has been in good form for Queensland in recent months. The 26-year-old has scored two centuries in his last four Sheffield Shield innings and he is averaging over 50 for the season. Harris is another experienced opener. The 32-year-old has played 12 Tests for Australia and he has a Test average of over 40. He has been in good form for Victoria this season, scoring three centuries in his last six Sheffield Shield innings. Pucovski is the youngest of the three candidates. The 23-year-old has been tipped as a future star for Australia. He has scored two centuries in his last three Sheffield Shield innings and he is averaging over 50 for the season. Australia will have a tough decision to make when it comes to selecting their new opener. Renshaw, Harris and Pucovski are all good players and they all have their own strengths and weaknesses. Whoever is selected will have big shoes to fill.
