Internet Desk: The National Selection Panel of Cricket Australia on Thursday named the 12-man squad for the first day-night Test against Pakistan starting next Thursday in Brisbane.
The squad remains unchanged from the side that was selected to take on South Africa in the third Commonwealth Bank day-night Test in Adelaide last month.
Commenting on the squad Interim National Selector Trevor Hohns said: “We were very pleased with how the team came together in Adelaide after some significant changes following the Tests in Perth and Hobart.
“This is a young group with a lot of promise and we believe all deserve their opportunity again in this upcoming Test.”
Injured West Australian batsman Shaun Marsh was not considered for selection due to his recovery from a broken finger sustained in the Perth Commonwealth Bank Test.
Bupa Support Team Physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said: “Shaun has yet to resume batting and will have a follow-up x-ray this week that will be reviewed by a specialist. This will determine when he can resume cricket training.”
Here is the look at the Australian squad:
| Steve Smith (C) | New South Wales |
| David Warner (VC) | New South Wales |
| Jackson Bird | Tasmania |
| Peter Handscomb | Victoria |
| Josh Hazlewood | New South Wales |
