WI vs AUS, 2nd Test: Australia announces playing XI; Steve Smith returns


Australia announced its playing XI for the first Test against West Indies, which will take place at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada, from Thursday, July 3.

Steve Smith returns to the fold since he fractured his finger during the World Test Championship (WTC) final against South Africa earlier this month.

Marnus Labuschagne was dropped following dismal performances, while the rest of the WTC final lineup remained unchanged, with Pat Cummins leading the side against Roston Chase’s West Indies.

The 36-year-old is replacing Josh Inglis in the second match of the series.

Australia Playing XI

Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Cameron Green, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Beau Webster, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
