Australia's new plan after losing to Bangladesh, changed the team, dangerous player who was out of action for 3 years returns

by

AUS VS BAN: A 2-match test series is being played between Australia and Bangladesh. In the first Test match played in Darwin, Bangladesh caused an upset and defeated the hosts by 9 wickets. After this defeat at the hands of Bangladesh, Australia has now made a major change in its team before the second test match. Jake Weatherald has been dropped from the squad and in his place a player has been included, who was out for the last 3 years and played the last match against India.

Australia included strong players in the squad

Australia have dropped Jake Weatherald and recalled Matt Renshaw in a bid to strengthen the top order and level the two-match series after last week's shock defeat in the first cricket Test against Bangladesh.

Australia on Tuesday announced a squad of 13 players, with only one change made for the second Test starting on Saturday in Mackay, North Queensland. During Australia's 9-wicket defeat in Darwin, Weatherold scored 23 runs in the first innings and was out without opening the account in the second innings. His average in 12 Test innings has been 20.36. Marnus Labuschagne, who scored 1 and 31, has been retained despite concerns over his poor form.

Matt Renshaw made his debut in 2016

30-year-old Renshaw is a contender to open for Australia along with Travis Head after his recent return to the Test team. Renshaw made his debut in 2016 and played 11 Tests before being dropped from the team in 2018. He was recalled for three Tests in 2023, but since then he has played only in the shorter formats for Australia. His average is 29.31 with one century in 14 Tests, but he has played only one of his last 10 Tests on Australian soil.

Bangladesh's first Test win in Australia put pressure on the national selectors to make major changes, but despite the loss in Darwin, the team was retained with mostly older players, with players such as Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Tanzid Hasan taking full advantage of the tropical climate there.

Second test will start from 22nd August

The second match of the Test series being played between Australia and Bangladesh will be played from August 22. This match will be played in the Great Barrier Reef Arena, Queensland, which everyone is eagerly waiting for. In the first match, Australia had to face defeat by 9 wickets at the hands of Bangladesh. In such a situation, it is obvious that the host team would like to come back strongly and would like to register a win at any cost and end the series on a draw.

Australia team: Pat Cummins (captain), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Matt Renshaw, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc and Beau Webster.

Bangladesh team: Nazmul Hussain Shanto (captain), Mehdi Hasan Miraj (vice-captain), Soumya Sarkar, Shadman Islam, Tanjeed Hasan Tamim, Mominul Haq Shorab, Mushfiqur Rahim, Liton Das, Amit Hasan, Jakar Ali Anik, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmood, Syed Khalid Ahmed, Ebadot Hussain Choudhary, Mushfiq Hasan, Liton Das, noisy islam
