Nathan McSweeney and Josh Inglis have been included in Australia’s Test squad ahead of the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against India, Cricket Australia (CA) announced on Sunday.
Moreover, the country’s cricketing body added that McSweeney is set to make his Test debut in the first match scheduled to be held in Perth from November 22 onwards.
“Nathan has displayed the attributes we believe will equip him well for Test cricket along with a strong recent record in domestic cricket,” said Australia’s national selection panel chairperson George Bailey.
“His performances for South Australia and Australia A weighed in his favour and supports our view he is ready for the opportunity at Test level.
“Similarly, Josh has been in great touch in the Sheffield Shield competition and deserves his place in his first Test squad,” Bailey added, according to CA.
