Nathan Lyon has been sidelined by the fast bowlers with in his team, but he remain an wicket taking option for the captain from past 24 months in the longer format in unhelpful conditions to his bowling. But still he remain an foot away from limited overs call.
In 2015 he stands an lonely non subcontinental spinner to feature in top ten wicket takers in longer format, with out playing an match in subcontinent this year. He also featured in top ten wicket takers in 2014 with 33 wickets in ninth spot.
His performances are largely under ratted by the selection panel in limited overs format. The fact that fast bowlers are highlighted in these conditions remain an concern for his limited overs call.
Now it's time for Australia to take a crucial selection of Lyon in limited overs a head of world T20 going to be held in 2016. India's tour to Australia in January will remain key to make the right selection in the squad for world T20.
Dothery and Agar are up in the ranks in limited overs, but hadn't made a match wining performance with ball in hand till to date. Lyon's experience will help Australia's cause in Indian conditions where he gets some help from those surfaces.
The past proven that teams cannot win matches in subcontinent with big contributions from the spinners. Australia had exiled the World t20 in the opening round and placed fourth in the table, due to lack of quality spinners in the squad. So it's important from Australian point of view to select the right combo if spinners, especially with the experience of Nathan Lyon in side will be interesting.
