Tim David represented Singapore in 14 T20Is. He had, as of the latest count, played for nine different teams in T20 leagues all around the world. He also plays in England’s 100-ball league, The Hundred. He is a T20 globetrotter, that much is obvious, but Tuesday night in Mohali promises to be different. As Tim will play his first T20I for Australia against India.
This is the 26-year-old’s first substantial experience of international cricket. David, who was born in Singapore but was raised in Perth, will serve as Australia’s designated big-hitter in the three-match series in the absence of Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis.
