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.<\/p>\n
Opening batter Jake Weatherald has been dropped, with Matt Renshaw coming into the squad.<\/p>\n
The second Test, held at Great Barrier Reef Stadium in Mackay, begins on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Opening batter Jake Weatherald has been dropped from Australia's Test squad after the side's historic loss to Bangladesh in Darwin.<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Weatherald made 23 and a third-ball duck in Australia's stunning nine-wicket loss to Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The Darwin-born top-order batter made his debut during last summer's Ashes series against England.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He averages 20.36 from his 12 innings in Test cricket, with a highest score of 72.<\/p>\n
Renshaw, 30, now firms as Travis Head's opening partner for the second Test.<\/p>\n
Renshaw played 11 Tests between 2016 and 2018, before being dropped from the side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was recalled to the side in 2023, when he played three Tests.<\/p>\n
Renshaw has a highest Test score of 184, which he scored against Pakistan at the SCG in 2017.<\/p>\n
Under-fire Marnus Labuschagne has kept his spot in the squad despite struggling for form in recent times.\u00a0<\/p>\n
