Hazlewood set for Australian Test debut, Starc recalled

Brisbane, Dec 16: Pacer Josh Hazlewood is set to make his Test debut for Australia in the second match against India at the Gabba, starting Wednesday. The New South Wales (NSW) right-armer has 10 wickets to his credit in six One-Day Internationals (ODIs). Stand-in captain Steve Smith was all praise for his NSW teammate, saying that the Gabba pitch would suit the 23-year-old Hazlewood perfectly. Left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc has also been recalled for the second Test as Ryan Harris suffered a minor injury and Peter Siddle has been dropped for his below-par show in the first Test. Left-handed batsman Shaun Marsh will get a place in the team as Michael Clarke has injured his right hamstring. Australia's XI for the second Test: David Warner, Chris Rogers, Shane Watson, Steven Smith (capt), Shaun Marsh, Mitchell Marsh, Brad Haddin (wk), Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Nathon Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
