Veteran batsman Adam Voges appears poised to make his Test debut at age 35 after concussion ruled Chris Rogers out of the series opener against West Indies.
The Western Australia captain seems the man most likely to come into Australia’s team for the first Test in Roseau, Dominica after Rogers was scratched by team doctor Peter Brukner on Monday.
Struck on the head by a delivery from local net bowler at Sunday’s training session at Windsor Park, Rogers was omitted after his concussion symptoms continued into Monday morning.
It’s the first Test the 37-year-old has missed after playing 19 straight following his recall for the 2013 Ashes.
Shaun Marsh is almost certain to move up the order to fill Rogers’ opening spot after making a century when opening the batting in last week’s tour match in Antigua.
Shane Watson, who has previously opened in Tests for Australia, could also make the move up the order.
Whatever happens, with captain Michael Clarke confirming Steve Smith will bat at the premier No.3 spot after his stellar summer, there’s a vacancy in Australia’s middle order.

if Darren Bravo, Braithwaite and Samuels can have consistent series (and over two tests surely that can’t be too hard), there is the possibility of Australia having some real trouble.
