Jhye Richardson and Michael Neser drop out of the side after their exertions with the pink ball, as Australia take no chances on the fitness of their bowlers - Josh Hazlewood will return from a side strain for the fourth Test in Sydney at the earliest.
Cummins explained that Richardson is carrying a minor leg niggle and pulled up sore after bowling at the team’s main training session on Christmas Eve. Having taken 5-42 to wrap up the Adelaide Test, Richardson will now be saved for Sydney and Hobart. Boland’s outstanding displays at the MCG for Victoria, including match figures of 8-89 from 47.3 unstinting overs against New South Wales in the only Sheffield Shield match at the ground this season, have deemed him a safe choice for selectors as they seek to seal the Ashes in a bare minimum three matches for the third home series in a row.
