Usman Khawaja replaces Travis Head for 4th Ashes test

Usman Khawaja will substitute Travis Head for the fourth Ashes Test in Sydney as Australia opposed the impulse to hand an introduction to spinner Mitchell Swepson. The hosts have chosen to roll out only one improvement with Josh Hazlewood and Jhye Richardson actually recuperating from injury and zeroing in on their return in the last Test in Hobart.

“Its a well known fact that assuming Josh Hazlewood was accessible then he planned to play,” Cummins said. “He’s been only a splendid bowler for us for a significant stretch of time. “We gave Josh each possibility we could, just felt like he was unable to bowl at maximum capacity yesterday. We’re actually trusting he’ll be appropriate for Hobart.

“You want that trained stump-to-stump bowler and that is the thing that Scotty (Boland) offers of real value. It’s a genuine extravagance for us to have somebody like Scotty … we feel all around very much positioned right now with such countless choices. It would have been a genuine disgrace to see Scotty not play this week later his endeavors the week before. I went through around five years sitting on one Test and I loathed when individuals discussed this is on the grounds that I felt like I hadn’t demonstrated anything. He’s bowling just as he at any point has, it’s extraordinary that he can continue to go from a week ago.”

With subcontinent visits arranged, Australia have been reflecting on playing Swepson to give him some Test insight prior to going to Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India this year. In any case, Cummins focused on Swepson is probably going to have his presentation in the abroad visits. “I don’t think anyplace in Australia I’ve played on over the most recent couple of years has directed two spinners,” he brought up. “We’d very much want to have that choice, he’s a class bowler, tingling to get him in the side one day.

“We figure he will make a big appearance at some stage, undoubtedly with how much subcontinent visits we have coming up that will be his chance. No one can say for sure, we may turn up one day and have a residue bowl here, yet I’d say abroad is the best bet.”

Cummins recognized Australia, notwithstanding the 3-0 lead, aren’t happy in testing at this point and need to play a decent crew that offers them the most obvious opportunity to proceed with their predominance. “You must find some kind of harmony,” he said. “It’s Test match cricket, we still just play around 10 of them a year, so there’s no Test where you feel like it’s a legitimate test. I think your best players generally will be your best players whether it’s in Australia or abroad.”
