Australia recently announced their squad for the three-match T20I series against South Africa starting August 30, in which a new name appeared. Yes, we are talking about Spencer Johnson. This 27-year-old left-arm bowler has already come into the limelight before his international debut, as this bowler has rocked his bowling in a match of The Hundred 2023.
Actually, the 13th match of The Hundred 2023 tournament was played between Oval Invincibles and Manchester Originals during which Spencer Johnson got a chance to make his debut. In this match, Johnson delivered 20 balls, out of which the players of the opposition team could not score even a single run on 19 balls. Yes, Johnson bowled 20 balls in which the star-studded Manchester Originals batsmen managed only 1 run and during this Johnson took three wickets. This is the reason why Johnson is being talked about everywhere.
Let us tell that Johnson had a challenge from batsmen like Jose Butler and Phil Salt, but here Johnson became a challenge and in the meantime he won everyone's heart by performing extremely well. Significantly, the figures of this 27-year-old bowler have been very good. In first class cricket, Johnson has taken 20 wickets in 4 matches. And in List A, he has 6 wickets in 6 matches. Has taken a total of 12 wickets in the quick format. In such a situation, he is being considered as the new Johnson of Australia.
Spencer has shown a trailer of his game in The Hundred, so now Australian fans will be hoping that he gets a chance to make his international debut in the T20 series against South Africa and he shows the full film of his talent by performing brilliantly there as well. Show it. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether he gets a chance in the star-studded Australian team or not.
