Australia has named an unchanged squad for the opening Test against Pakistan at the Gabba.
Debutants Matthew Renshaw, Peter Handscomb and Nic Maddinson have all been retained after Australia’s seven-wicket victory over South Africa.
“We were very pleased with how the team came together in Adelaide after some significant changes following the Tests in Perth and Hobart,” chairman of selectors Trevor Hohns said.
“This is a young group with a lot of promise and we believe all deserve their opportunity again in this upcoming Test.”
Shaun Marsh remains injured and has not played since injuring his finger in the opening Test against the Proteas.
“Shaun has yet to resume batting and will have a follow-up x-ray this week that will be reviewed by a specialist,” team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said. “This will determine when he can resume cricket training.”
Australia squad: Steve Smith (c), David Warner (vc), Jackson Bird, Peter Handscomb, Josh Hazlewood, Usman Khawaja, Nic Maddinson, Nathan Lyon, Matthew Renshaw, Chadd Sayers, Mitchell Starc, Matthew Wade.
