Ashes 2021: Australia adds pacer Boland to squad for Melbourne test

The Hindu  

Australia added fast bowler Scott Boland to its squad for the third Ashes test against England starting on Sunday in Melbourne amid concerns over Mitchell Starc's fitness after he tweaked his back in the second match. Starc sustained the injury while batting in Adelaide but still claimed six wickets in the pink ball contest to help Australia prevail by 275 runs and go 2-0 ahead in the five-match series. RELATED | "Boland has been training with the team in Adelaide and joins the squad while the medical team assesses the fast bowling group following the second test victory," Cricket Australia said in a statement on Tuesday. Australia was without Pat Cummins for the Adelaide test after the skipper was ruled out for being a close contact of a COVID-19 case, while fellow quick Josh Hazlewood was sidelined by a side strain sustained in the series opener in Brisbane.
