    "editor1": "<p>Jan. 15 (CRICKETNMORE) - Cricket Australia have announced a 16-man Test squad for their upcoming Tour of India. The two sides will play four Tests, with the first to kick off in Pune on February 23.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Australia have included uncapped leg-spinner Mitch Swepson earning a maiden international call-up. The inclusion is a bit surprize as Swepson was given priority over Adam Zampa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Trevor Hohns,&nbsp;Interim Chairman of Selectors shared reason for including Swepson, &quot;We thought we would go for a more attacking leg-spinner more so than a defensive spinner. That&#39;s no disrespect to Adam. Adam is going well as well. Mitchell Swepson has come through the pathway system. He is an exciting young leg-spinner, gives the ball a very good rip, he&#39;s a wicket-taking leg-spinner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also Check <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-series\/australia-tour-of-india-2017\/fixtures\">Australia&#39;s Tour of India fixture<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;At the end of the day you&#39;ve got to take wickets to win Test matches. Given the opportunity we feel he could play a part over there and if he doesn&#39;t he&#39;ll gain a lot from the experience from being there,&quot; said Trevor Hohns,<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>Squad:&nbsp;Steve Smith (c), David Warner (vc), Ashton Agar, Jackson Bird, Peter Handscomb, Josh Hazlewood, Usman Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Stephen O&#39;Keefe, Matthew Renshaw, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Wade<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>Saurabh Sharma<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
