Cummins, the world’s number one Test bowler, missed the day-night Test this week after being a close contact of a positive COVID-19 case at Adelaide restaurant. He was supposed to isolate in the South Australia capital for seven days but was permitted to return to Sydney on a private charter flight. Hazlewood was ruled out with a side strain, with Jhye Richardson and Michael Neser replacing them in the starting eleven in Adelaide. The third Test in Melbourne starts on 26 December. Australia squad: Pat Cummins (capt), Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Michael Neser, Jhye Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Swepson, David Warner Read all the Latest News , Trending News , Cricket News , Bollywood News , India News and Entertainment News here.
