India vs Australia 2017: 5 issues Australia should resolve before the third Test

#2 The all-rounder conundrum

Usman Khawaja could be an option for the Aussies in the next Test

In the first two Tests, Australia went with an all-rounder who offered very little in the bowling as well as batting department. Now, injury has ruled Mitchell Marsh out of the side and Marcus Stonis has been named as his replacement. However, Australia must ask themselves if they actually need an all-rounder.

Instead of opting for a player who is neither a top order batsman nor an opening or first-change bowler, they could go in with a specialist batsman to strengthen the side.

Usman Khawaja is too good a batsman to warm the benches and Australian management can seriously think of including him in the playing 11 to boost their batting strength.
