Warner returns to Australia cricket team, two more come

Sports Desk: David Warner was a bit skeptical after returning to practice after recovering from injury. Head coach Justin Langer said Warner's return to the third game was not entirely certain. However, Cricket Australia (CA) has removed Warner from the squad for the remaining two matches of the series. In addition to Warner, two more players have been included in the squad.

Off-form opener Joe Burns has been dropped from the squad, along with young top-order batsman Will Pukowski and pacer Shaun Abbott. With the exception of these three, the rest of the squad remains the same for the last two matches. Pukovsky, 22, was originally scheduled to make his Test debut. But before the start of the match, he fell into concussion for the ninth time in his short career. As a result, he could not play in the first two Tests. The batsman, who has averaged 54 in first-class cricket, is set to make his international debut with his third match in Sydney.

Cricket Australia's chief selector Trevor Hans said of Pukovsky, "Will Pukowski is on the verge of returning to the field following all the rules. He is ready to play in Sydney. However, his condition will be further monitored before the third match. Then the final decision. ' Australia will rest for a few days after losing the second Test of the series in Melbourne. They will practice in Melbourne on January 2 and 3. He will leave for Sydney on January 4. The first test of the new year will start on the 8th. The last match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played in Gabba from January 15.
