The resignation of captain Tim Paine gives the England-born wicketkeeper a chance for Australia in the Ashes

Sydney — Josh Inglis may have been born and raised to the age of 14 in England but the 26-year-old says there will be no split loyalties if he gets the chance to keep wicket for Australia in the upcoming Ashes series.

“As a kid growing up in England, I obviously supported England but that’s all changed now moving to Australia,” Inglis told reporters on Monday. He failed to get on the field at the World Cup so his candidature to replace Paine will be backed by his three centuries for Western Australia last season as well as in training for next week’s “A” match against England Lions.

While Carey, also uncapped but a veteran of 83 short-format internationals, pressed his case with a one-day century for South Australia at the weekend, Inglis has had the likes of Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist and Shane Warne talking him up. “Until it actually came out, I thought this might be the end,” he said. “I was on my own in my room and I couldn’t breathe as it became lodged and started to dissolve. It felt like my mouth was on fire.
