Australia confirm playing XI for 2nd Test against India, make one change for day-night fixture

India TV News  

Australian skipper Pat Cummins confirmed the playing XI for the second Test against India in Adelaide set to commence on Friday, December 6. Cummins mentioned that there was only one change in the playing XI with Scott Boland set to play after a gap of almost 18 months, the first time since the last Ashes. “Traditionally here there’s normally a little bit of nip, which obviously suits Scotty quite well,” Cummins said on the eve of the pink-ball Test on Boland's selection. Cummins was glad that Boland got some game time in Canberra with Prime Minister's XI in the two-day practice match and hoped that he'd be ready to go at the Adelaide Oval come Friday. Australia playing XI: Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitch Marsh, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland
