Australia vs England: Australia has announced its playing eleven for the third test against England. The surprising thing was that even in this test, Usman Khawaja could not return to the team. The Australian team management has also kept Khawaja out of the third test. Regarding Usman Khawaja, Pat Cummins had given a statement that the career of the 39 year old batsman is not over yet. But, looking at the kind of situation that is developing, it seems that it is going to be difficult for Khawaja to return to the team.

Usman Khawaja’s role was that of opener in the Australian team. In the current Ashes series, Khawaja was a part of the Australian team only in the first Test. After that he did not get a chance in the second test. And, now he is out of the playing eleven of the third test also. The reason behind this decision is obviously his poor form. In the first Test that Khawaja played in the series, he could score only 2 runs in one innings.

The third Test between Australia and England is to be played in Adelaide, for which Australia has also made changes in its fast bowling. He has dropped Michael Neser from the third test. Apart from him, Brendan Doggett has also not got a place. Both these players were part of the team in the second test. In place of these two players, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon have been entered in the team.

Captain Pat Cummins will return after injury in the third Test to be played in Adelaide. At the same time, Nathan Lyon was dropped in the Pink Ball Test played in Brisbane. But now he has returned to the team again.
