The Australian cricket team will once again embark on their quest for the final frontier when they tour India for the coveted Border-Gavaskar Trophy in February 2023. 

Almost every player in the squad is dishing out performances on the domestic circuit to book himself a ticket on the flight to the Indian subcontinent.

Spinner Mitchell Swepson, who made his Test debut for Australia in Pakistan this year, is hopeful of making it into the touring party. 

Swepson, who has ten wickets from four red-ball appearances, speaking to cricket.com.au, said his experience of playing in Asia gives him an edge over others.

Here's what Swepson said

"They were pretty happy, I think, with how I bowled in Sri Lanka, which is our last Test series, so just drawing on that, I'm quietly confident that I'd be in the (selection) conversation at least, and I certainly want to be a part of that tour, there's no doubt about that."

"It seems like a long time ago, and it almost feels like a bit of a full-circle moment with this tour coming up. I was just a massive sponge on that tour, just experiencing touring with the Australian team and learning little bits and pieces at training sessions, and just getting to rub shoulders with guys that I really looked up to at that time"
