World Test Championship Final 2023: Scott Boland Will Be Part Of Australia's playing XI
Right-arm fast-medium bowler Scott Boland has been given the big responsibility to fill the gap of injured Josh Hazlewood in the Australian Playing XI for the World Test Championship (WTC) final against India starting from Wednesday at the Ovals in London. Australian captain Pat Cummins confirmed that Scott would be given preference over Michael Neser in the final side. "We're big on kind of everyone bowling slightly differently, Scott is a seam bowler on a good length, but he just offers something slightly different to Joshy Hazlewood, and Starcy being a left hander is bit different. So I don't think there's ever a pecking order. You think about the three guys that you want to go out and play," Cummins said as quoted by cricket.com.au.

The high-stakes Ashes series will start from June 16. "We think England's preferred choice of bowling attack would be Anderson, Robinson, Wood, in terms of the three quicks. We still don't know what [Ben] Stokes' status is. I'm sure he will be absolutely fine, but if that isn't the case, Stuart Broad today looked a little bit on the tardy side, a little slow and lacking in penetration when the ball was a little bit older," Butcher told Sky Sports.
