Australian fast bowler Lance Morris is almost ready to play his first Test match in the next series against Pakistan, which is a huge development. On December 14, the three-match Test series is scheduled to begin. Morris has been called up for the Perth Test.

The right-arm fast, who has been a member of the Australian Test team since the previous summer, has won selectors over with his abilities and reliable first-class performances. With 22 appearances in first-class cricket, Morris had an outstanding record, taking 74 wickets at an average of 25.44. His performances have included noteworthy feats including a few five-wicket hauls, demonstrating his ability to have a big effect with the ball.

Todd Murphy is replaced by Nathan Lyon.

Ten players from the starting XI of the most recent Ashes Test are still part of the 14-man Australian Test squad for the forthcoming series against Pakistan, meaning there will be few changes to the lineup. The only change is that Todd Murphy has been replaced by Nathan Lyon, who has recovered from a calf injury.

David Warner, the left-handed opener, has been kept in the team despite having stated after the New Year’s match against Pakistan that he wanted to say goodbye to the Test series. Selectors support Warner’s participation despite a difficult time in Test cricket, particularly following his incredible double century against the same opponent in his 100th Test.

Under the direction of Pat Cummins, this team has amassed a solid track record throughout time. In an official statement, chairman of selectors George Bailey stated, “We feel they have earned the opportunity to start in our first home Test match of the new World Test Championship cycle.”

“Lance Morris has been recalled after recovering from his back injury over the same period, and thirteen members of the squad were part of the successful Ashes and World Test Championship tours over the winter,” he said.
