TINKERMAN PHIL OPEN TO CHANGE

- DAVID CHARLESWORTH

PHIL SALT admits he may need to tinker with his own schedule as he looks to nail down a spot as an England ODI opener.

Salt could open the batting alongside Michael Pepper in the West Indies in an ideal union for headline writers.

The 28-year-old is eager to draw a line under a 3-2 defeat by Australia last month after averaging 19.2, albeit on tricky end-of-summer pitches aiding all-time greats Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.
