The second match of the 2-Test series between Australia and Bangladesh is to be played in Mackay from 22nd August. Bangladesh is leading 1-0 in the series. He had registered a memorable victory by 9 wickets in the first match of the series played in Darwin. The Bangladeshi team dominated Australia throughout the match and gave it a crushing defeat. Now he stands on the threshold of a historic series win.

The Australian team, which was embarrassed in Darwin, now has no margin for error. In such a situation, he has made a big change in the team for the second test. Opener Jake Weatherald has been shown the way out. Weatherald had flopped miserably in Darwin. He could score only 23 runs on his home ground. He could not even open his account in the second innings. In both the innings, this left-handed batsman became the victim of Hasan Mahmood.

Renshaw gets a chance in place of Weatherald

The 31-year-old Wetherald made his Test debut during the last Ashes. He could score only 201 runs in 5 Test matches of the Ashes series at an average of 22.33. Only 1 half-century came from his bat. Despite this flop show, he got a chance in the first test against Bangladesh but he could not prove himself. Now he has been called by the bar as Matt Renshaw. Left-handed batsman Renshaw was kept on standby for this series.

Renshaw will play his first Test after 2023. He played the last Test in Delhi on the India tour. Ravenshaw has so far scored 645 runs in 14 Test matches at an average of 29.31. Although his recent form is tremendous. He scored runs at an average of around 50 and scored 3 centuries in the Sheffield Shield last season.

Australia troubled after Warner's retirement

The Australian team is busy searching for opening batsmen after the retirement of David Warner. He tried many players but could not make the right opening pair. Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne also started the innings but they were not successful. Travas Head was called into the opening slot from the middle order. He had a strong performance in the Ashes. Now it remains to be seen whether Renshaw is successful as his partner or not.

Australia's squad for the second test: Travis Head, Matt Renshaw, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Cameron Green, Alex Carey, Beau Webster, Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Scott Boland
