Australia consider two spinners for Rawalpindi Test vs Pakistan

cricket captain Pat Cummins did not reveal the makeup of his team for the opening Test against Pakistan but said playing two spinners remained an option in Rawalpindi on Friday. Veteran Nathan Lyon remains Australia's frontline spinner for their first tour of Pakistan in 24 years. The tourists, however, are tempted to field a second spinner on a pitch where Cummins expects decent turn even if not from the very first session. "I don't have an XI yet. We're pretty sure but we just want to have another look at the wicket," Cummins told a media conference on the eve of the match. "We have got a fair idea of what we want to do but don't want to make the call too early without fully knowing what the wicket is."
