Australia has made one change to its 13-player squad for the second Test against Bangladesh after suffering a shock defeat in the first Test.
Opening batter Jake Weatherald has been dropped, with Matt Renshaw coming into the squad.
The second Test, held at Great Barrier Reef Stadium in Mackay, begins on Saturday.
Opening batter Jake Weatherald has been dropped from Australia's Test squad after the side's historic loss to Bangladesh in Darwin.
Matt Renshaw has been called into the 13-player squad for the second Test at Great Barrier Reef Stadium in Mackay, which begins on Saturday.
Weatherald made 23 and a third-ball duck in Australia's stunning nine-wicket loss to Bangladesh.
On paper, Australia's full-strength team should have wiped the floor with Bangladesh. But a lack of application to their Test match craft has left Australia vulnerable to teams that are driven to succeed in the longest format.
The Darwin-born top-order batter made his debut during last summer's Ashes series against England.
He averages 20.36 from his 12 innings in Test cricket, with a highest score of 72.
Renshaw, 30, now firms as Travis Head's opening partner for the second Test.
Renshaw played 11 Tests between 2016 and 2018, before being dropped from the side.
He was recalled to the side in 2023, when he played three Tests.
Renshaw has a highest Test score of 184, which he scored against Pakistan at the SCG in 2017.
Under-fire Marnus Labuschagne has kept his spot in the squad despite struggling for form in recent times.
