Australia names team for second Test against Bangladesh
- Australia have resisted the temptation to play four specialist fast bowlers against Bangladesh in the second Test in Mackay, as captain Pat Cummins confirmed Matt Renshaw would open the batting.
- The recalled Renshaw is a straight swap for Jake Weatherald, who was dropped after six underwhelming Test matches.
- The pitch at Great Barrier Reef Arena is expected to assist the pacemen, but off spinner Nathan Lyon, after taking 1-102 in the first innings of the nine-wicket loss by Australia in Darwin, will play his 143rd Test.
