Australian men’s cricket team captain, Pat Cummins, has disclosed the playing eleven for the upcoming Sydney Test against Pakistan, set to commence on Wednesday. The skipper confirmed that the XI remains unchanged after their triumph in the Boxing Day Test, with the team focused on securing 12 World Test Championship points and achieving a 3-0 clean sweep against their adversaries.

Despite a rigorous net session for fringe Australian all-rounder Cameron Green hinting at a possible return, Australia has opted to maintain the winning formula as they aim to defend their World Test Championship crown.

Captain Cummins emphasized the team’s strategic approach, stating, “Normally each summer there’s something that pops up. But all three of us (Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood) are really fresh. Even the way this summer is spread out a bit more, there’s two Tests on, then a bit of a gap; then two Tests, then a bit of a gap; then New Zealand. We’ll give it a chance. It’s all gone pretty smoothly so far.”

The Australia XI set to face Pakistan at the SCG includes: Pat Cummins (c), David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitch Marsh, Alex Carey, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, and Josh Hazlewood.
