MELBOURNE: Australia's opening batsman David Warner has been declared fit for the team's second test against New Zealand that starts on Thursday despite being hit on the hand while batting in the nets on Monday.
"We know how well he's playing at the moment, we know how much all the boys love playing test cricket and Boxing Day cricket ... so he'll be ready to go." Langer added that fast bowler James Pattinson would almost certainly make his first test appearance in Australia in almost four years for the injured Josh Hazlewood, who sustained a hamstring injury in the 296-run first test victory in Perth."I've said it all week, he was the 12th man the last game, we try to be as consistent as possible," Langer said.
While the 29-year-old was likely to partner Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins for his first test in Australia since January 2016, Langer said they were still working through their final playing selections.
