The third and final Test match of the three-match series between Australia and Pakistan will start from Wednesday at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Australian captain Pat Cummins has announced his playing 11 for the third Test a day before. Pat Cummins said that in Sydney, Australia will play with the same playing 11 that won the Boxing-Day Test in Melbourne.
This clearly means that the Australian team has not made any changes in its playing 11. This announcement made it clear that Scott Boland will be retained in the playing 11 and no fast bowler will be tried in his place. Captain Pat Cummins said that all three fast bowlers are fit for the match.
What did Pat Cummins say
Given the potential, there was rarely any hope for change. Every time something new is brewing, but I would like to clarify that all three fast bowlers are completely fit. This time, if we talk about summer, there is enough time to rest between matches. We gave a chance. All this has gone very smoothly so far.
Eye on clean sweep
The Australian team has captured the series by winning both the initial tests. However, the Australian team does not want to leave any stone unturned in the last test and intends to clean sweep Pakistan.
Pat Cummins said,
“Every match is important in the World Test Championship. We scored points because of some over rates in England during the Ashes. Every match has context and it is a home Test match. Every Test match you play is big. Every Test match played in Australia is big.
