Australia names squad for remaining three Ashes Tests

2021-12-20T16:20+11:00

Australian selectors have announced an unchanged squad for the remainder of the Ashes.

Marcus Harris has kept his place in the squad despite failing to score a half-century in four innings, however he could still be dropped from the XI for the third Test of the series.

Quick bowlers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood both missed the Adelaide Test, with Cummins all but certain to come straight back in after being a close contact of a COVID case in Adelaide.

Hazlewood has a side strain and is hopeful of being fit, giving selectors options for which pace trio to go with.

Replacements Jhye Richardson and Michael Neser have impressed in Adelaide.

Usman Khawaja remains the only backup batsman in the squad.

Australia's Ashes squad: Pat Cummins (c), Steve Smith (vc), Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Marcus Harris, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Michael Neser, Jhye Richardson, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Swepson, David Warner.
