Matthew Renshaw is in the box seat for a Test recall in Mackay as Pat Cummins' side seek to square the series against Bangladesh
Australia have broken up their Ashes-winning opening partnership one match into their ensuing run of matches, with Jake Weatherald dropped for the second Test against Bangladesh in Mackay.
Matthew Renshaw has replaced him and is in the box seat to take on the new ball with Travis Head at Great Barrier Reef Arena after selectors swung the axe following their stunning nine-wicket defeat in Darwin.
Weatherald, showing a tweaked technique designed to avoid lbw and bowled dismissals that dogged him against England, made 23 and 0 in his hometown Test. It took his career average from 12 innings to 20.36. Selectors handed him a national contract in April after several strong opening stands with Head during the 4-1 Ashes series win, but have now discarded him one Test later.
Ian Chappell believes the chickens have come home to roost and says Australia’s selectors must take their share of the blame following Sunday’s historic home Test defeat to Bangladesh.
“If you pick the wrong people in the first place, you can get into trouble,” Chappell told nine.com.au.

“With their selections, they’ve shown to me that they don’t understand things very well.
“To me, it’s the selectors who’ve got themselves into this problem. Now they’ve got to try and find a way out. But I’m not convinced that they’re good enough to find a way out.”
