Experienced bowlers Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon will return from injury so warhorse Scott Boland is the unlucky omission for the first Test against Bangladesh.

Captain Pat Cummins has named the Australia side for the first of two Tests that starts on Thursday in Darwin, with allrounders Cameron Green and Beau Webster included in the eleven.

Green will bat at No.5, wicketkeeper Alex Carey six, followed by Webster.

Lyon last played for Australia in the third Test of last summer’s Ashes in Adelaide before injuring his left hamstring.

Hazlewood missed the entire series with an Achilles tendon issue.

Cummins also played the sole Test last summer in Adelaide and returns to captain the side after recovering from a lower back injury.

Wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis is the other member of the 13-man squad to miss out.

Boland was always tipped to be replaced by Hazlewood in the opening Test despite starring with the ball in the Ashes series with 20 wickets at 20.45.

Cummins confirmed the Boland and Inglis omission at his pre-Test press conference.

“They are both pretty classy, but we were pretty certain we wanted Lyon in the side so it was about working out what the makeup of the quicks were,” Cummins said.

“We went with Joshy. We know Scotty’s class. It is always a pretty tight call.

“There is not much you can say to Scotty except there is a lot of cricket coming up. He knows his worth, and how good he is, and I am sure he will be out there at some point pretty soon.”

Boland’s next opportunity will be in the second Test in Mackay, but with at least 20 Tests in the next 12 months to be played by Australia there is no doubt the 37-year-old will be back at the bowling crease soon.

AUSTRALIA: Jake Weatherald, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Cameron Green, Alex Carey, Beau Webster, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
