Australia announce Test squad for Pakistan series.
SYDNEY (Dunya News) – Australia have on Thursday announced 14-man squad for the upcoming two-match series, starting in Brisbane next week followed by Adelaide, against Pakistan.
Tim Paine will lead the Kangaroos against Pakistan while former captain Steve Smith and David Warner are also part of the team.
It is pertinent here to mention that the three-day practice match between Pakistanis and Australia A ended in a draw on Wednesday (yesterday) with former team leading by 368 runs.
Earlier, the hosts had outclassed the Green Shirts in the shorter format of the game and won the three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series by 2-0. The first T20I ended with no result due to rain.
The first Test of the series between Pakistan and Australia will be hosted by Brisbane from November 21-25, while the second day-night Test will be played in Adelaide from November 29-December 3.
