Australia Playing -11 For Boxing Day Test: The fourth match of the Border-Gavaskar series being played between India and Australia is going to start from 26th December. A day before the match, host Kangaroo team captain Pat Cummins has announced his playing eleven during a press conference, in which two major changes have been seen.
Sam Constas will debut
Australian captain Pat Cummins has announced his playing eleven in the press conference before the Melbourne Test match with India (IND vs AUS). 19 year old Sam Constas is going to debut in the MCG test match. Actually, Sam will play in place of opening batsman Nathan McSweeney, who did not perform well with the bat in the first 3 matches. With his debut, Sam will be included in the list of youngest players to make his Test debut for Australia.
Let us tell you, Scott Boland has joined the playing eleven in the Melbourne Test. He will replace fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, who has been ruled out of the series due to fitness related reasons.
He is in!

travis head fit
With the announcement of the playing eleven for the next match between IND vs AUS, it has become clear that the team's star batsman Travis Head is fit and will be seen in action. In this series, Head has scored 409 runs in the last 5 innings at an average of 81.80.
After the last Test match, there were reports that Head was not fit and might miss the next match. But, those news have no meaning now, because the captain has made it clear that Head will play.
