Ashes 2021: Scott Boland added to Australia squad for third Ashes Test

Meanwhile. Australia has added Scott Boland for the third Ashes Test as an additional bowling option. The pacer has been training with the team and will serve as a cover for the recovering Aussie pacers. Josh Hazelwood was ruled out of the last Test and is recovering. He is set to miss the 3rd Test as well.

On the other hand, Pat Cummins is back after missing the last game for coming in close contact with a COVID positive member. Mitchel Starc, too, was seen twinging in pain while batting at the 2nd Australian innings in the 2nd Test. 

Speaking about Scott Boland's addition, Australia coach Justin Langer told Espncricinfo, "It's more precautionary than anything else. That said, he's a terrific bowler, and he's had an awesome domestic couple of years. If he gets the opportunity like Michael Neser last game, he will certainly deserve that."

Australia squad for third Ashes Test:

Pat Cummins (C), Steve Smith (VC), Scott Boland, Alex Carey (WK), Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Michael Neser, Jhye Richardson, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Swepson, David Warner.
