Steve Smith will lead the side, with Pat Cummins set to miss the opening game due to back issues. Sam Konstas, after returns of 3, 5, 25, 0, 17 and 0 in the West Indies series, hasn't looked the part and has been dropped, while Tasmanian left-handed opener Jake Weatherald has earned a maiden call-up to the Test side after breaking down the door of selection with a mountain of runs in domestic cricket.
