Nathan has shown all the qualities needed to succeed in Test cricket, and his recent performances in domestic games have been impressive. His strong play for South Australia and Australia A helped solidify our belief that he’s ready for the next step at the Test level.

Similarly, Josh has been in excellent form in the Sheffield Shield and fully deserves his spot in his first Test squad. Scott, on the other hand, has always performed well whenever given a chance in Test cricket and continues to be an important part of the team.

Overall, the squad is well-balanced and gives Andrew and Pat the flexibility they need for what promises to be an exciting series.
