Australia Playing 11 4th Test Vs India: The fourth match of the five-match Test series between India and Australia will be played from December 26. This match will be played as Boxing Day Test. This test match is very important for India and Australia from the point of view of WTC final. The Kangaroo team may look quite changed in this test. Know here how Australia’s playing eleven could be in the fourth test.
Australia has announced a 15-member team for the fourth test. Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, who was injured during the third Test, is not part of the team. He has been ruled out of the fourth and fifth tests. Sean Abbott has been included in the team in his place. Along with fast bowling, Abbott can also bat in the lower order.
Australia has made some changes in its team for the fourth test. Opener Nathan McSweeney has been dropped from the team. He played the first three Tests, but could not perform as per expectations. Apart from this, two all-rounders have been included in the team for the fourth test. It stars Beau Webster and Sean Abbott. Now there are two fast bowlers in the team to replace Hazlewood. Scott Boland, who took five wickets with the pink ball in the second test, is part of the team in the fourth test. Jhay Richardson has also been included in the team.
This 19 year old player will open with Khawaja
19 year old Sam Constas will open the innings with Usman Khawaja. This young batsman had scored a century while playing for PM XI. Sam Constas has been included in the team after McSweeney’s continuous flops. After this, Marnus Labuschagne will be seen playing at number three and Steve Smith at number four. Travis Head is certain to play at number five. Now Beau Webster is likely to get a chance in place of Mitchell Marsh at number six. Marsh does not look completely fit.
After this, wicketkeeper Alex Carey and then captain Pat Cummins will be seen. It is considered certain that Scott Boland will get a chance in place of Josh Hazlewood. In such a situation, Jhay Richardson may have to sit on the bench. After this Mitchell Starc and then Nathan Lyon will be seen playing.
Australia’s probable playing eleven for the fourth test- Sam Constance, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh/Beau Webster, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland/Jhye Richardson and Nathan Lyon.
