Usman Khawaja and James Pattinson Happen to Be dropped from Australia for the Ashes Test at Old Trafford since Mitchell Starc and Steve Smith come to the squad.
Australia are put to make two changes to the side which was defeated by Ben Stokes’ record-breaking innings at Headingley at the next Ashes Test.
Fast bowler Starc enters the squad using Pattinson falling out, leaving Pat Cummins, himself, Josh Hazlewood along with Peter Siddle to its 3 speed bowling areas for the game that starts at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
His addition was anticipated following an impressive show in Australia’s tour game against Derbyshire last week – a game in – taking seven wickets in the game.
Khawaja drops from the squad after featuring in the first three Tests at # 3, but he has paid the price for a mean of merely 20.33 from his six innings in the collection.
Khawaja’s location will be taken from the returning Smith after he recovered from the concussion he suffered by a Jofra Archer bouncer which struck him in the neck during the second Test.
Retains his place in the group afterwards top-scoring in both innings for the Aussies in Leeds.
Australia are looking for having been denied that which seemed a victory at Headingley from Stokes and his unlikely partner at the crease.
David Warner, Marcus Harris, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Matt Wade, Tim Paine (forecast, wk), Pat Cummins, Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
