A six-year-old Archie Schiller, who is an ardent cricket fan from Barossa part of Australia, suffering from a long-term heart condition and to his surprise, he has been ‘called up’ to the Australian squad for the first Test match against India by the Australian head coach Justin Langer.

When Schiller was just three months old, it was discovered that he had some issues in his heart valves, which led to the irregular beating of the heart and further life-threatening complications if not monitored and kept in check at all times. He has already undergone thirteen surgeries in his yet short life.

Describing himself as a leg-spinner who models himself after Shane Warne, Archie got the most pleasant surprise when, in the presence of his parents, he received the news of being included in the Australian squad for the first Test against India at Adelaide via a video call from Langer. The call, promoted by the Make a Wish Foundation, informed Archie that he was to link up with the squad before the first Test.

And while Langer gave him no guarantees about his inclusion in the starting XI, one can gather in this video posted by Cricket Australia that getting a call from the head coach of the Australian cricket team was more than what he ever bargained for. Here is the video of the conversation:

Archie also reckoned that he’d be able to get Virat Kohli out pretty easily. Now that’s some confidence from this little fighter!

India and Australia will be locking horns with each other for the first Test of the four-match Test series commencing on December 6.
