JUST IN - Cameron Bancroft axed as Aussies name Test squad to face New Zealand. MORE:
But given Australia’s resounding performances, Hohns said selection discussions were easy and that he felt confident ahead of the meeting against the world’s No.2 side.
“It’s very nice and it’s nice to have a couple very, very good wins and it’s been quite relaxing to be honest,” Hohns said about picking the squad. Hohns also alleviated injury concerns surrounding Mitchell Starc, saying his discomfort during the second Test was due to a laceration on his toe, and not a rolled ankle.
As such, Australia is expected to retain the same XI for the first Test. Reserve bowler Neser will join the squad late as he plays for Queensland in the Sheffield Shield on December 9, while Pattinson will be in-camp for the duration. Meanwhile, New Zealand will head to Australia after completing a two-Test series against England on Tuesday. The Blacks Caps are on track to win the series after claiming an innings win in the first Test at Mount Maunganui, while the second Test is expected to end in a draw.
