So it might be tough for them to remain focused on this Test match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;As professionals -- with the young kids watching and hearing all the news -- it&#39;s very important we are on our best behaviour. Off-field behaviour needs to improve and we all know that,&quot; England spinner Moeen Ali was quoted as saying by the International Cricket Council (ICC) website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Australia also gave a hint that all-rounder Mitchell Marsh might be included in the squad for the WACA Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Other people might be unlucky to miss out but Mitchell fills the role we need for this particular Test match,&quot; Australia coach Darren Lehmann said.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;As a batter, he was in some good form. But we needed his bowling as well. Now he&#39;s bowling, we can consider him,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Teams:<br \/>\r\nAustralia: David Warner, Cameron Bancroft, Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith (capt), Shaun Marsh, Mitchell Marsh, Tim Paine (wk), Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England: Alastair Cook, Mark Stoneman, James Vince, Joe Root (capt), Dawid Malan, Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Chris Woakes, Craig Overton, Stuart Broad, James Anderson.<\/p>\r\n",
