Australia have named their 13-member squad for the Boxing Day Test match against Pakistan that will be played in Melbourne. Australia registered their massive 360-run victory against Pakistan in the first Test that will embolden the World Test Championship winners going further into the three-match series. Australia have abstained from making any changes to their squad that routed Pakistan in the first game. However, Australia’s 14-member squad was reduced to 13 with Lance Morris dropping out of the squad to get back to domestic circuit. Both teams will have a long break before they get into their second Test match. Meanwhile, Pakistan will play a warm-up game ahead of their second Test game against Australia. 

Australia Squad: Pat Cummins (c), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitch Marsh, Steve Smith, Mitch Starc, David Warner
