Australia confirms starting XI for third Test
SEN • December 16th, 2025 2:05 pm
Returning captain Pat Cummins has named Australia's starting XI for Adelaide, making two changes ahead of the third Ashes Test.
Nathan Lyon returns to the side following his omission at the Gabba, with Australia opting against the all-pace attack utilised in their second Test triumph. Michael Neser has been withdrawn as a result.
Making way for the returning skipper is paceman Brendan Doggett, having taken seven wickets across his first two Tests for the side.
The third Test in Adelaide kicks off on Wednesday and SEN Cricket will be there to call every ball LIVE.
