Mitchell Marsh is set to maintain the all-rounder role, edging out Cameron Green.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"6:1-6:85\">The only alteration to the XI from Australia\u2019s previous Test in July at the Oval will be Nathan Lyon\u2019s return in place of his understudy, Todd Murphy.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"8:1-8:68\">Morris, nicknamed \u201cWild Thing\u201d for his express pace, might either be named in the extended squad or provided a special training role before the first Test against Pakistan, starting on December 14 in Perth.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"10:1-10:229\">Starc is dealing with a minor issue, which shouldn\u2019t impede his start in the Test summer. However, concerns arise regarding his fitness for the third Test due to the tight schedule between the Boxing Day Test and the Sydney Test.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"12:1-12:263\">Morris, 25, has been on a tailored recovery program since last season due to stress fractures in his back. The selectors want him prepared if an opportunity arises against Pakistan or the West Indies this season and have an eye on the future series against India.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"14:1-14:99\">Capable of bowling at 150km\/h, Morris is seen as a direct replacement for Starc\u2019s aggressive style.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"16:1-16:185\">He would have been part of the Ashes tour if fully fit and has been gradually eased back into the Sheffield Shield games for Western Australia, claiming 11 wickets across three matches.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"18:1-18:203\">Although Bancroft\u2019s Test performances have been modest, Marsh retains his place after an impressive showing in the Ashes series. However, concerns linger about his bowling impact compared to his batting.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"20:1-20:231\">Green, despite a moderate performance in the Ashes, remains a crucial part of Australia\u2019s future plans. His recent strong innings in the Shield game highlighted his quality, prompting selectors to find a spot for him in the lineup.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"22:1-22:214\">While Josh Inglis solidifies his place as Australia\u2019s white-ball wicketkeeper, Alex Carey remains the Test gloveman and showcased his red-ball form with a solid innings for South Australia in a recent Shield match.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"24:1-24:93\">Probable Australian squad for the first Test against Pakistan in Perth, starting December 14:<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"26:1-35:11\">David Warner Usman Khawaja Marnus Labuschagne Steve Smith Travis Head Mitchell Marsh Alex Carey Pat Cummins (c) Mitchell Starc Nathan Lyon Josh Hazlewood Scott Boland Cameron Green Lance Morris.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/FotoJet-44-4-254x144.jpg\" alt=\"Southgate defends using Foden in wide position\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Southgate defends using Foden in wide position<\/h5>\n<p>Southgate has defended his decision to use Foden in a wide position&#8230;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2023\/09\/southgate-defends-using-foden-in-wide-position\/\" class=\"post-link\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starc\u2019s Potential Absence in Perth Test Against Pakistan Australia Considers Lance Morris as Replacement for Mitchell Starc.
