West indies test

West Indies Test: Following the 3-0 Test series win over Pakistan, Australia head coach Andrew McDonald said there have been no indications over resting the first-choice fast-bowling trio of captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood for the upcoming assignments in the format.

It means that Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins are all set to play in Australia’s first Test against West Indies starting on January 17 in Adelaide, followed by the second Test at The Gabba beginning on January 25 and could play the two-match series in New Zealand in February-March.

"There's nothing to indicate they'll need a rest. They've got a little bit of a gap to the West Indies Test match. I could see pretty much an unchanged bowling line-up for Adelaide. It's probably something we've noticed, they've probably got better across the (Pakistan) series. In particular, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins. And Mitch Starc, I think his ball speed in this game was at its highest," said McDonald to reporters following the conclusion of the series.
