“From the scans the other day, the tendon’s basically gone from the top of the finger, so I can’t straighten it or any of that,” Starc said. In a positive sign for Ashton Agar, Cummins, who will have a big say on the make-up of his attack at the SCG, said Australia would pick the XI with one eye on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Senior paceman Josh Hazlewood declared he will be fit for the Sydney Test, saying he could have bowled 30 overs in Melbourne. Though the series is secured, for Australia there are no dead rubbers on the road to the Oval in London for the final of the World Test Championship.
