Australia Drops Jake Weatherald for Second Test Against Bangladesh, Recalls Matthew Renshaw
Australia has made one change to its Test squad for the second match against Bangladesh, dropping opener Jake Weatherald after a nine-wicket loss in Darwin. Weatherald scored 23 and 0 in the first Test, leading to his replacement by Matthew Renshaw, who returns after three years. Despite poor form, Marnus Labuschagne retains his spot. Coach Andrew McDonald acknowledged Weatherald's technical adjustments but noted limited success. The second Test will be played in Mackay starting August 22.
