Brilliant Burns posts maiden double century

A versatile batsman who can bat anywhere in the top six, Burns was a chance for a recall before a recent groin injury scuppered those plans. The right-hander made a strong case for inclusion with two centuries in the Shield competition, including a maiden double hundred, and he continued to hit the ball well in the KFC BBL.
With opener Cameron Bancroft yet to establish himself in the side, selectors confirmed that Burns (who opens for Queensland) would have been considered before injury struck. As it is, the Aussies have opted for just one reserve batsman – Victorian Peter Handscomb – with Shaun Marsh or Usman Khawaja options to open the batting should they be needed.
