Konstas & Inglis Return, Marnus Axed As Aus Name Squad For Windies Series Opener
Opener Sam Konstas: Opener Sam Konstas and reserve wicketkeeper Josh Inglis will both play in the first Test against West Indies as Australia named a new-look batting line-up for the first Test against the West Indies in Barbados next week, with Steve Smith forced out of the side through injury and an out-of-form Marnus Labuschagne dropped.
Smith will miss the opening match of the three-Test series Indies on the Tour of the West Indies. Smith has been ruled out with the finger injury sustained in the World Test Championship against South Africa. He is still in the running to play the second match, Cricket Australia said.
Smith avoided surgery and travelled with the squad to the Caribbean but will be required to keep his right digit in a splint for up to eight weeks following the compound dislocation.
