Brendan Doggett looks to add to Australia's pace bowling depth

Sydney, Sep 19 (UNI) With an experience of over 200 first-class wickets, Brendan Doggett is no stranger to trials of competitive cricket, which involve missing out on a berth in the side due to injuries or competition.
For years, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood along with Nathan Lyon have been the face of Australia's bowling attack. To add Scott Boland, who has achieved cult status due to his exploits at home in recent years - averaging merely 16.2 in Australia, to the equation means that other promising pacers have more often than not missed out on a Test berth.
Doggett's own Test experience is of two Tests, which came during the last home season courtesy of injuries to senior pacers. Part of the Australia 'A' setup for the upcoming first-class tour of India, Doggett is planning to be in the right headspace ahead of Australia's important ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 assignments, which will see them face-off against South Africa (away), New Zealand (home), and India (away).
