Australia Recall Matthew Renshaw, Retain Nathan Lyon for Second Test Against BangladeshPreviousNext

Australia made one change to their playing XI for the second Test against Bangladesh in Mackay, recalling opener Matthew Renshaw in place of Jake Weatherald. Renshaw, 30, returns to the top order after last playing a Test in 2023. Despite discussions about an all-pace attack, veteran spinner Nathan Lyon retained his spot. Australia aims to level the two-match series after their unexpected loss in the first Test in Darwin, with captain Pat Cummins expressing confidence in the revised lineup.
