Australia unchanged for first Pakistan Test

In Sports, Australia named an unchanged team today for the opening day-night cricket test against Pakistan as they look to build on progress made after a team clear-out following a run of five defeats.The change before the third and final Test against South Africa last month worked with the new-look Australia finally getting a win under their belts, and selectors have stuck by the same 12. Interim chief selector Trevor Hohns said that they were very pleased with how the team came together in Adelaide after some significant changes following the Tests in Perth and Hobart.It means Matt Renshaw will again open alongside David Warner with middle-order batsmen Peter Handscomb and Nic Maddinson also retained. The first of three Tests starts from 15th December. The other two Tests will be played in Melbourne from 26th to 30th December and Sydney from 3rd to 7th January.
