Australia Ashes Squad: List of Players for Third Test Against England in Adelaide

Pat Cummins returns from back injury to lead Australia in Adelaide Ashes Test, with 91 wickets in 19 Tests boosting team strength against England.

  • Next Wednesday, December 17, Australia named Pat Cummins as its only squad change for the Adelaide Test, with the final XI confirmed at the toss.
  • Having recovered from a back injury, Pat Cummins is now set to return for the Adelaide Test, his first match since the mid-July Test in the West Indies.
  • Cummins's Ashes record is formidable, with 19 Ashes Tests and 91 wickets at 24.10, and he was the leading wicket-taker in the series when England last toured Australia.
  • His inclusion amplifies pressure on an England squad already criticised, while Nathan Lyon and Usman Khawaja could both earn recalls, creating significant selection headaches for Australia.
  • Coach Andrew McDonald said `We feel as though he'll be as best prepared as can be`, noting net simulations have got Cummins skill ready and sparked selection talks for Brisbane.
