Boland to make Test debut on Boxing Day
Roger Vaughan |
Australia have dropped an Ashes selection bombshell, naming Victorian paceman Scott Boland for a dream Test debut.
Boland was brought in as cover earlier this week for the Boxing Day Test at the MCG and just as well with fellow fast bowlers Jhye Richardson and Michael Neser ruled out because of soreness.
Josh Hazelwood was already out as he continues to recover from injury, meaning captain Pat Cummins and Boland are the two inclusions to the Australian XI.
Boland will become the second Australian men’s second indigenous Test player after Jason Gillespie.
