Three wickets on debut - plus snapping the bat of the opposition captain in his first ball at the crease - has- Ralston in the frame for Australia’s 2018 Under 19 Cricket World Cup opener against India in Tauranga on Sunday.
The 18-year-old right-armer claimed two early wickets in Wednesday’s warm-up match as Sri Lanka slumped to 6-64, and finished with figures of 3-38 as Australia dismissed the Sri Lankans for 198 in reply to 7-251 in Christchurch.
“It was unreal, a great start for the boys,” Ralston said.
“We obviously still have some things to work on, but definitely a great start, a win against Sri Lanka and pretty convincing at that.
“I went out there and opened the bowling with Xavier Bartlett, we had a really good partnership up front.
“Putting on the jersey this morning was an unreal feeling…. playing for your country is just amazing. I thought I bowled pretty well today, and hopefully others think the same.”more details
