Hello
Steve Smith moved up from No. 4 to open the batting after the Test retirement of David Warner midway through last season and McDonald said it was by no means certain he would stay there.
Mitchell Marsh was confirmed as captain of the 15-man squad which includes Josh Inglis as a reserve wicketkeeper.
The 34-year-old has averaged 28.5 with a high score of 91 not out in four Tests as opener.
After scores of 12 and 11 not out in the first Test in Adelaide, and six in his first innings at the Gabba, Smith carried his bat with an unbeaten 91 in a losing cause in Brisbane.
Marcus Stoinis, part of Australia's World Cup-winning squad in India, misses out.
Four other players -- Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis and Sean Abbott -- are scheduled to return to Australia after tonight's match in Guwahati.
Cummins remained unbeaten on 12 from 68 balls but more importantly added 202 for the unbroken eighth wicket partnership with Maxwell.
The netizens noticed the resemblance and soon the memes became to circulate.
Smith is nursing a tendon injury to his left wrist which will keep him sidelined for up to another four weeks. The report added that Starc is experiencing 'groin soreness'.
Cummins, who fractured his wrist during the fifth Ashes Test at the Oval (July 27-31), has been advised rest for six weeks.
