Australia Squad: Australia’s Nathan McSweeney has been axed from the side that will play the last two Tests against India, where a call has come up for 19-year-old opening batter Sam Konstas as the team continues to find ways to stem their struggles against Jasprit Bumrah. There has also been the inclusion of first three-year Test squad paceman Jhye Richardson as an extra cover with Josh Hazlewood unavailable, although Scott Boland is likely to be given a spot in the XI at the MCG.
