By IANS News December 02, 2021 • 10:40 AM View: 1696

Alex Carey will make his debut for Australia in the first Test against England at Gabba on December 8 after Cricket Australia's National Selection Panel added him to the 15-player squad to replace former captain and wicketkeeper Tim Paine, who withdrew from the team following an off the field scandal.

South Australia's Carey emerged victorious in the high-stakes battle to replace Paine and has been picked for the first two matches of the men's Ashes Series after the selectors reposed faith in him to take charge, Cricket Australia confirmed on Thursday.
