Australia opener eager to fill David Warner's slot in white-ball cricket

He may not have been able to make a mark with the bat in a low-scoring thriller against Pakistan in the first ODI, but Matthew Short will continue to bank on an ‘aggressive’ brand of cricket to help him solidify his place as Australia’s opener.

With David Warner having retired from international cricket, and Travis Head on a paternity leave, Short finds himself vying for the permanent spot alongside 22-year-old Jake Fraser-McGurk in the ongoing series against Pakistan.

"I came into this series with high aspirations to try to cement my spot in the team," Short told reporters on Tuesday.
