After the defeat against India in Perth, Kangaroo started preparing for the final, announced the dreaded team for the second test.

Cricket News Desk. Australia has not made any changes to its 13-member squad for the day-night Test to be held in Adelaide from December 6. The team's head coach and selector Andrew McDonald has confirmed this and also said that there are some doubts over the fitness of all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, but there are still about 10 days left for the second Test to start. The Australian team lost the Perth Test against India by a huge margin of 295 runs. If Marsh is not fit, the team has an extra batsman in the form of Josh Inglis.

He will also join the team's reserve fast bowler Scott Boland for the Australian Prime Minister's XI in a two-day pink ball practice match against India. McDonald said the team would gather in Adelaide next Monday and begin training for the next match. The teams were originally scheduled to meet again on Tuesday, but following the loss the teams will meet again a day earlier. However, McDonald did not specify that the team would field with the same eleven that was in Perth.

Macdonald made it clear that the team which was in Perth will also go to Adelaide. On the question of Marsh's fitness, he said- We are in a wait and see situation right now. Marsh bowled 17 overs during the Perth Test, his most in a single match in the last three years. That too when he had bowled only four overs in the last eight months. The Australian coach does not believe that it is because of Marsh that they are missing a bowler.

In Perth, the Australian team could take only 16 wickets while the Indian bowlers bowled out Australia for 104 and 238 runs. “I don't think it's a weakness of ours,” MacDonald said. His bowling in the first innings was also satisfactory. Will the same team play in Adelaide that played in Perth or will Inglis get a chance as a batsman? On this McDonald said- We will see about this.
