McSweeney, Inglis Named In Australia's Squad For Border-Gavaskar Trophy Opener
Skipper Pat Cummins: Nathan McSweeney and Josh Inglis received maiden Test call-ups for the opening game of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India, scheduled in Perth from November 22.
McSweeney appeared to have won the race for the vacant opener berth and looks set to open the batting alongside left-hander Usman Khawaja. Inglis, who had previously been ruled out as an opening batting contender by national selection panel chair George Bailey, is the surprise inclusion for the contest at Perth Stadium.
Experienced batter Steve Smith will return to his regular spot at No.4 behind first-drop Marnus Labuschagne, with Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh and keeper Alex Carey in line to make up the middle-order.
