Michael Beer and Usman Khawaja will make their Test debuts for Australia in the last Ashes match against England in Sydney, beginning on Monday. Stand-in captain Michael Clarke verified on Sunday morning that the slow left armer and number three batsman will take their places in the line-up, with Doug Bollinger the man to miss out.
Clarke said: “The XI has been picked and Dougie misses out. Usman and Beery will get their first taste of Test cricket.”Australia need to win the Test to level the series at 2-2, although England have already retained the Ashes after their innings-and-157-run victory in Melbourne earlier this week.
