Matthew Renshaw

Jake Weatherald and Marnus Labuschagne are at the centre of one of the hottest debates leading up to the first Ashes Test.

After his Australian teammate was embarrassingly bowled, Steve Smith took it upon himself to show he's in red-hot form.

Usman Khawaja has been guaranteed his place at the top, but whether he's joined by Renshaw, Labuschagne, Weatherald or Konstas remains uncertain.

Australia's selectors unveiled a 13-man squad for the two-Tests series, but as always some questions were left unanswered.

Selector George Bailey has confirmed the batting order for Australia's first Test against the West Indies, with David Warner's replacement locked in.

Mark Taylor isn't of the belief that Australia's next opener should be someone who has significant red-ball opening experience.

Nathan Lyon says he doesn't think the Australian public "realises" how major a role David Warner has played in his 109-Test career.

Matthew Renshaw would have been eyeing a monster score against Pakistan, but a monster thunderstorm forced a final-day washout.

Former Australian captain Ian Chapell says Mitchell Marsh could be the answer to the impending selection issue facing the team.

Mark Taylor has added to the doubt surrounding David Warner's spot in the Australian Test XI ahead of the summer.
