Struggling opener Marcus Harris has been retained in Australia’s squad for the remainder of the series in a strong indication he will hold his place for the Boxing Day Test.
though the fact the squad has been named for three more games suggests the three-person selection panel will give him at least one more chance to cement his place in the team.Harris made just three and 23 in Adelaide, but there were encouraging signs in the second innings when he survived 17 overs of the new pink ball under lights only to be dismissed early the following afternoon., which ruled him out of the day/night Test.

The return of Cummins to the XI after being forced out in Adelaide due to South Australia’s COVID-19 regulations lessens the need for Australia to take any risks with Hazlewood.Pat Cummins , Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Michael Neser, Jhye Richardson, Steve Smith , Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Swepson, David Warner.
