Brisbane, December 2 (IANS). For Australia, opening batsman Usman Khawaja has been ruled out of the second Test of the Ashes series starting from December 4 at the Gabba, Brisbane. At the same time, England included the versatile Will Jacques in the eleven for the Gabba Test in place of the injured Mark Wood. Usman Khawaja was ruled out of the second Test two weeks ago due to a back injury. According to the report, Cricket Australia has decided not to give place to any player in the team as an alternative to Khawaja. Usman Khawaja spent nearly half an hour in the nets at the Gabba on Tuesday. During this he looked uncomfortable. His back injury has not healed and he does not look fully fit to play in the second Test. After this, the management decided to keep him out of the second Test. For the Gabba Test, England also included Will Jacques in the team in place of the injured fast bowler Mark Wood. “England have made one change to their playing eleven from the first Ashes Test in Perth, with spin all-rounder Will Jacks included in place of the injured Mark Wood,” the England Cricket Board said in announcing their line-up for the pink-ball Test. Jacques returned to the Test team after three years. With his arrival, both the team’s batting and bowling became stronger.
