Todd Murphy is expected to return for the Ashes finale in Sydney, as Australia coach Andrew McDonald prefers not to leave spinners out of red-ball Tests. Murphy was previously excluded from the Boxing Day Test, marking the first absence of a frontline spinner for Australia in 14 years. With Jhye Richardson likely to be replaced due to injury concerns, Murphy’s inclusion may also coincide with considerations for allrounder Cameron Green’s performance. Reserve allrounder Beau Webster, who has performed well in previous matches, is also in contention for selection.
