Australia have announced a 13-man squad for the two-Test series against Bangladesh in August, with captain Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon returning after recovering from injuries. Their comeback strengthens an experienced squad as Australia begin a demanding Test schedule.
Michael Neser and Brendan Doggett miss out following the return of the senior pacers, while Todd Murphy remains on standby. Jake Weatherald and Marnus Labuschagne retain their places despite modest Ashes performances. The Tests, part of the World Test Championship, will be played in Darwin and Mackay.
