PM XI and New Zealand will play a one-day game, also at the same venue, on Friday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBilly Stanlake will replace Mark Steketee while Sam Whiteman will take on wicketkeeping duties, replacing Ryan Carters.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBatsmen Bancroft, Burns and Khawaja are seen as leading contenders to fill the vacancies created by the retirement of opener Chris Rogers and ex-captain Michael Clarke.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Similar to the Prime Minister&#39;s XI squad, this two-day match will provide an opportunity for us to monitor a group of highly rated players ahead of the first Test at the Gabba,&quot; national selector Rod Marsh said on Tuesday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Shaun, Mitch and Sam are all very talented players and we&#39;re keen to see what they can produce against New Zealand. Billy Stanlake grabbed our attention when he made his debut in this year&#39;s Matador Cup with an intimidating display against South Australia, taking 3\/43 from nine overs.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<strong>Cricket Australia XI squad:<\/strong> Usman Khawaja (captain), Cameron Bancroft, Joe Burns, Adam Voges, Shaun Marsh, Mitchell Marsh, Sam Whiteman (wicketkeeper), Ashton Agar, Peter Siddle, Jason Behrendorff, Billy Stanlake, Ben Taylor (12th man).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 20.8px; text-align: justify;\">(IANS)&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n",
