I think they'll have a look at him.

And it could be, you know, their top order is relatively settled, but this lad is a freak of nature.

I know one theory is just they, I mean, he should be doing grade 10, Jerry, for goodness sakes.

One theory is to just keep him in the IPL and just let the rest of his life settle down a bit.

There is that theory.

But he's becoming such a superstar that he's so hard to keep out of that series, isn't he?

And you wonder what he will bring to it.

He's only played a handful of first-class matches, and I think he's averaging 17 in first-class cricket.

But that's pretty immaterial because he hit Pat Cummins for two sixes.

And Cummins has called him my new favourite cricketer because he –

You know, he's stunned at what he can do.

But I hope he does play in that.

I think it would be great.

And they will certainly look at him.

I've seen that written.

They're certainly going to look at him.

But there's that conflicting opinion of do you let the boy be a boy?

Do you just let him go back and mature a little bit, keep him in the IPL?

And then, you know, don't expose him to the rigours of Test cricket just yet.
