Cricket Australia have announced an unchanged squad for the next three Ashes tests to be played at MCG, SCG, and Hobart respectively. 

Unchanged squad means both Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood will be making their comeback after being ruled out of the 2nd test. While Cummins had to head back home due to the Covid scare, Hazlewood got injured during the 1st test. 

Marcus Harris has retained his spot as the opener which means Usman Khawaja still remains the backup opener in the side. Australia face a selection issue as both Jhye Richardson and debutant Michael Neser have impressed in the Pink Ball Test at the Adelaide. 

Australia's Test squad: Pat Cummins (c), Steve Smith (vc), Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Marcus Harris, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Michael Neser, Jhye Richardson, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Swepson, David Warner
