IND vs AUS: Hazelwood returns, Australia announces playing XI for Brisbane Test, these players out

The Brisbane Test is to be played from December 14, for which Australia has announced the playing eleven. There is a change in the Australian team. This change has happened due to the return of Josh Hazlewood to the team. Hazlewood could not play the second Test due to injury. But now Australian team captain Pat Cummins has confirmed his playing in the third Test to be held at Gabba. Cummins announced his playing eleven a day before the Test match.

Hazlewood in, Boland out

After Hazelwood's return to the Australian team, Scott Boland had to be dropped from the team. Boland replaced Josh Hazelwood in the second Test played in Adelaide, who could not play due to side strain. But now Hazelwood has passed his fitness test and that is why Cummins has also announced his playing in Gabba.

Such has been the performance of Hazelwood and Boland in the series.

Scott Boland took 5 wickets in the Adelaide Test. He took 2 wickets against India in the first innings of the pink ball test. While in the second innings, he dismissed 3 Indian batsmen. Hazelwood played the first Test of the series in Perth before the injury, in which he also took 5 wickets. He took 4 wickets in the first innings and 1 wicket in the second innings.
