Australia named their 13-player squad for the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan in Melbourne after going one up in the three-match series.

This time instead of naming a 14-player squad, Australia decided to leave one player behind. Uncapped speedster Lance Morris dropped out of the squad to return to domestic duties.
Indian cricket team spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was all praise for Nathan Lyon after the Australia cricketer completed 500 wickets in Test cricket.

Shah cleaned up Afzal Khan for the final wicket of the UAE innings and what followed was a fiery celebration from the pacer. He didn't shy away from expressing himself in front of the dismissed batter but the reaction of Afzal Khan was quite unexpected.
It has been a tough couple of days for the Pakistan cricket team as the visitors have been outplayed by Australia in the first Test in Perth.
