After the crushing defeat in the Perth Test, the Australian team has announced the playing eleven for the Pink Ball Test against India. A big change has been made in the team for this match, where Scott Boland will be seen in place of injured Josh Hazlewood. Mitchell Marsh has also been successful in making a place in this team. The Kangaroo team captained by Pat Cummins is under immense pressure after the embarrassing 295-run defeat in the first Test in Perth.
Australia would like to return to winning ways
After this defeat, the team is in danger of reaching the final of the next World Test Championship. In such a situation, the team would like to return to the winning path against India. The team will play day-night test here against India, in which they have the best record. The team has played 12 pink ball tests so far and has been successful in winning 11 of them.
Kangaroo team does not want to take the risk of competing with Hazlewood
Scott Boland will replace Hazlewood in the Adelaide Test. 35-year-old Boland has played 10 Tests so far and has taken 35 wickets at an average of 20.34. Cricket Australia said that Hazlewood’s injury is not that serious, but the team management does not want to take any risk with him.
Hazlewood’s record in day-night test
The Kangaroo team will definitely miss Hazlewood in the Pink Ball Test in Adelaide. He has played 8 pink ball tests so far and taken 37 wickets. During this period, he has also achieved the feat of taking 5 wickets in an innings twice. Hazlewood created history in 2015 by dismissing New Zealand’s Martin Guptill, becoming the first bowler to take a Test wicket with the pink ball.
