Handling the spotlight and the probing questions from the fourth estate can be difficult for first-time international players and Cricket Australia prefers not to leave anything to chance.

The result of it is getting the junior Australian cricketers attend the press conference of their senior team skipper Tim Paine.

The basic idea was to give the youngsters a peek into how a senior player handles the media and the tough questions.

After the ball-tampering scandal, Cricket Australia conducted a cultural review where the win-at-all-costs theory was largely criticised.

There have been Australian captains in the past, who had shared frosty relations with the media.

Giving youngsters an opportunity to watch the interaction between a senior player and a journalist will certainly give them an idea of what to expect when they make the grade.
