"Simon Katich" Australian Opener, Simon Katich has supported Ed Cowen, the debutant against the India Boxing Day test match. Cowen in his first test against India on Monday, December 26, 2011 has scored 68-in opening day of the Boxing day test match.

Katich while speaking about Cowen has said that, Ed Cowan is definitely ready for Test cricket. He’s made a lot of runs this year, he deserves his chance, and he’s got a big future ahead of him.

The rise of the Tasmanian player has been largely associated with a troublesome opening position left void by Katich, who endured a turbulent relationship with Cricket Australia after former chairman of selectors axed him in favour of youngster like Phil Hughes.

Cowen started his career at New South Wales but failing to get a permanent reckoning forced him to move to Tasmania, which has proved fruitful for the 29-year-old. From there on, he went on to amass big scored and grew in stature, which helped him to gain a national call up.

Katich said he would be grateful for the Test opportunities that he got. I’m fortunate that in the last few years, I got back in the Test team. I’ve got to look at it positively. I’ve played 56 Tests instead of being stuck on 23 so I will always be grateful for that.

There are lots of people worse off than me in the world. As much as it was disappointing to know that I probably wouldn’t play Test cricket again, I’ve dealt with that, and I’ll play cricket for whoever wants me for as long as I can.
