SYDNEY: Cricket Australia (CA) on Sunday announced their 13-member squad for the third Test against Pakistan, which is scheduled to commence on January 3, 2024 at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

Australia have made no changes to their squad from the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, which they won and sealed the series 2-0.

The enthralling Boxing Day Test between Pakistan and Australia concluded on the fourth day when Pakistan, in pursuit of 317, bundled out on 237 in the second innings.

The touring side was at one stage in a comfortable position to seal a historic victory when they required a further 100 runs with five wickets in hand.

However, Mohammad Rizwan’s debated dismissal off Pat Cummins opened the floodgates for Pakistan and they collapsed from 219/5 to 237 all out.
