Test squad: Pat Cummins leads Pakistan vs Australia. A 14-man squad has been announced by Australia for the first Test against Pakistan in what is being seen as David Warner’s farewell series, which will be played over three tests at home.
There will be two tests between the two teams, with the first being played at the Perth Stadium from December 14 to 18 under the leadership of World Cup-winning captain Pat Cummins.
