Scott Boland will replace the pace spearhead, who has been nursing a mild thigh problem and did not bowl on the last two days of the opening Test in Perth that Australia won by 164 runs.

ADELAIDE - Steve Smith will captain Australia in the second Test against the West Indies after skipper Pat Cummins was ruled out due to injury Wednesday.

Cummins also missed last year's Adelaide Test against England as a close Covid-19 contact, with vice-captain Smith standing in as skipper on that occasion as well. "I have to do it my own way, I can't be someone else," he said of the captaincy. "I am pretty chilled."
