Australia Name Full-Strength Squad For Pakistan Tour

Australia named a full-strength squad on Tuesday for its first Pakistan tour in 24 years, with spinners Mitchell Swepson and Ashton Agar drafted to back up their formidable pace attack.

Pat Cummins’ side – which recently lost coach Justin Langer in acrimonious circumstances – are slated to play a three-Test series in Rawalpindi, Karachi and Lahore from March 4.

Bowler Josh Hazelwood will be back in action after missing most of Australia’s recent 4-0 demolition of England in the Ashes.
