Scott Boland Replaces Josh Hazlewood for Second Test

Australia's captain Pat Cummins has announced that Scott Boland will replace the injured Josh Hazlewood in the playing XI for the second Test against India, starting December 6 in Adelaide. This match will be a pink-ball Test, and Boland is returning to the Test side after nearly 18 months, last playing during the Ashes series. Hazlewood is sidelined due to a side strain, and there are concerns he may also miss the third Test in Brisbane. Despite being under an injury cloud, all-rounder Mitchell Marsh is expected to bowl in the match. The Australian team remains largely unchanged from their previous match, with a strong record at the Adelaide Oval in day-night Tests. India has not yet named their playing XI for the upcoming match.
