The final match of the World Test Championship will be played between India and Australia at The Oval from June 7. The Australian team will have to reduce the number of squads from 17 to 15 by 28 May. Then there is the Ashes series, in which there is a possibility of change in the last three tests in view of the series.

Lance Morris, one of Australia's fastest bowlers, has been ruled out with a back injury, requiring six weeks of rest. He will have a short bowling spell with Northamptonshire next month to test his fitness. Michael Neser was also overlooked, whose bowling would have been better for English conditions.
