The first Test against India is just 15 days away, yet Australia still unable to decide who will run out alongside Usman Khawaja against India in Perth.
Nathan McSweeney managed just 14 before being dismissed late on day two of the second unofficial Test against India A.Nathan McSweeney was dismissed for just 14 in Australia A 's first innings against India A, dealing a blow to his hopes of a Test debut.
McSweeney and Bancroft's cheap returns will extend what has become a major headache for Australia's selectors, with the team yet to determine who will open alongside Usman Khawaja when the series against India gets underway in Perth in 15 days time. But Neser managed to bowl just two balls of his 13th over, before pulling up sore and walking dejectedly off the field only minutes before the tea break.
In between, Scott Boland removed KL Rahul, an option to play against Australia in the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar series, for just four.
