Adelaide: Australia has announced the last XI for the first Test of the three-match series against India. Australia has dropped #Mitchell Marsh. Peter Handscomb has been included in his place. At the same time, Marc Harris will also start his international career with this match. To exclude Mitchell means that Australian captain #Tim Paine will come against India with less bowling options.

Travis Head as part-timer bowler: However, off-break bowler Travis Head can play the part-timer bowler. Marsh’s performance in the Test series played against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi in October this year was disappointing. He scored 30 runs in two Tests and took two wickets.

Earlier, in South Africa tour in March, he was unable to perform anything specially. He had scored 96 runs in the first Test of the series in Durban, but after that, he could not even score 50 in the remaining three matches.
