Hazlewood out, Cummins in contention creates Australia dilemma in first Test against South Africa

0

Cricket
Australia
on
Monday
confirmed
a
14-man
squad
for
the
series
opener
at
the
Gabba
following
Sunday’s
419-run
rout
of
the
West
Indies
in
Adelaide.

Cummins
has
been
named
in
that
squad
despite
missing
the
Adelaide
pink
ball
Test
with
a
quad
injury,
but
Hazlewood
is
absent
again
with
an
ongoing
side
strain
issue.

The
return
of
the
Australian
skipper
would
mean
one
of
Scott
Boland
or
Michael
Neser
would
likely
miss
out
in
Brisbane
against
the
Proteas.
Uncapped
WA
tearaway
Lance
Morris
retains
his
place
in
the
squad
but
appears
unlikely
to
break
into
the
XI.

“Pat
continues
to
improve,
bowled
with
freedom
on
Saturday
and
appears
likely
to
play
this
match,
although
Josh
will
need
more
time,”
selection
chief
George
Bailey
said.
“With
that
in
mind
we
have
retained
Michael
Neser
and
Lance
Morris
in
the
squad
for
this
match.

“Michael
bowled
superbly
in
Adelaide,
as
did
Scott.
We
were
impressed
as
always
with
their
performances
that
backed
up
what
they
have
achieved
in
the
past.
Lance
is
a
very
exciting
prospect
who
will
benefit
from
time
with
the
squad.

“With
so
much
cricket
ahead,
we
continue
to
seek
opportunities
to
grow
and
maintain
our
fast-bowling
experience
and
depth.”

Neser
took
five
wickets
for
the
match
in
the
second
Test
against
the
West
Indies,
while
Boland
only
managed
three,
but
the
latter’s
trio
came
in
one
devastating
over
in
the
second
innings.
