The two India matches are scheduled in the first couple of weeks in September. The Oz selectors have named the squads for both matches;
Squad for first match Peter Handscomb (capt), Joe Burns (vice-capt), Cameron Bancroft, Travis Dean, David Moody, Kane Richardson, Chadd Sayers, Marcus Stoinis, Mitch Swepson, Beau Webster, Sam Whiteman, Daniel Worrall.
Squad for second match Joe Burns (capt), Kurtis Patterson (vice-capt), Jackson Bird, Hilton Cartwright, Travis Dean, Sam Heazlett, Jon Holland, David Moody, Kane Richardson, Chadd Sayers, Beau Webster, Sam Whiteman.
It's a positive sign that some of these players are getting the chance to prove themselves. Across both fixtures, I'd say that the leading prospects being closely examined are; Peter Handscomb, Cameron Bancroft, Travis Dean and Kurtis Patterson. I'm disappointed that Chris Lynn is missing, surely he's the next cab off the rank as far as batting is concerned. Sam Whiteman appears to be well placed should the selectors decide that they've had enough of Peter Nevill, who is a very fine gloveman, but simply hasn't delivered the goods with the bat.
