Morris earned a call-up to the Test squad for the second Test against the West Indies in Adelaide. The 24-year-old was in contention to play the final Test of the summer in Sydney against South Africa but had to sit out due to the conditions favoring an extra spinner. As a result, he carried drinks all summer.
With Mitchell Starc’s high probability of missing the first Test against India in Nagpur, the youngster indicated that it could be his best chance of playing. Morris also claimed that he has tried to balance his preparations for the Big Bash League (BBL) and the India Test tour.
As quoted by Perth Now, he said:
He added:
The Scorchers speedster is one of the four frontline fast bowlers picked for the India tour; however, he is unlikely to play any of the games. With Pat Cummins as captain, Josh Hazelwood’s reverse swing critical, and the conditions likely requiring two spinners, the right-arm paceman could stay sidelined.

Morris revealed that he has repeatedly observed the likes of Travis Head and Alex Carey ahead of the Scorchers’ clash with the Adelaide Strikers on Friday. He added:
The Scorchers are currently at the top of the table with nine wins in 12 games.
