When Cummins was forced to withdraw on the morning of the game, he was replaced by Jhye Richardson, and Michael Neser was given a last-minute debut.

Although Khawaja may be regarded as an opener, naming the squad for all three remaining Tests appears to be a show of faith in opener Marcus Harris, who has struggled thus far.

Mitchell Starc appeared to be suffering from a back ailment during England’s second innings. Despite the fact that it did not hinder his performance, which may cast doubt on his ability. To play in Melbourne because of the short turnaround between matches.

Richardson and Neser will have to decide whether to fill the void. If any of Australia’s big three quicks are unavailable for the third Test. With his second Test ball, Neser took a wicket. Then on the fourth evening, he bowled a brilliant spell to dismiss Dawid Malan.

Richardson was pricey in the first innings, but he bowled brilliantly in the second. Dismissing Haseeb Hameed with a brute of a delivery.

This year’s Ashes Test pitch in Melbourne will most likely. Be significantly different from the one that produced a dull draw in 2017-18. The pitch surface has improved in recent seasons. And the Sheffield Shield pitch had a lot of life earlier in the summer.

The fourth Test will be played at the SCG, which produced a draw. Against India last season when the visitors were able to bat out the last day. Following the relocation away from Perth due to border limitations. The series will end with a second day-night match in Hobart.
