Fourth Ashes test
\n Melbourne
\nUsman Khawaja will replace Travis Head in Australia\u2019s middle order for this week\u2019s fourth Ashes test against England in the only change to the side that wrapped up the series in Melbourne last week, skipper Pat Cummins said on Tuesday.
\nScott Boland has held off challengers for his spot in Australia\u2019s XI while Usman Khawaja has been confirmed as Travis Head\u2019s replacement for the fourth Vodafone Ashes Test in Sydney.
\nHazlewood\u2019s lingering side injury will see him miss a third straight match while Jhye Richardson is also not 100 per cent fit, meaning Boland will feature again following his MCG heroics.
\nAustralia XI: Marcus Harris, David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Usman Khawaja, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland
\nEngland XI: Haseeb Hameed, Zak Crawley, Dawid Malan, Joe Root (c), Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Mark Wood, Jack Leach, Stuart Broad, Jimmy Anderson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
