However, as Maxwell said, the call-up for Finch is a richly deserved one. He has been exceptional in the recent past and perhaps, he could do that David Warner’s job of yielding quick runs with the new ball.

Meanwhile, the selection panel gave yet another surprise by not naming the deputy for Tim Paine. It comes to known that the vice-captain will be announced after the four-day practice game against Pakistan.

The series is scheduled to start on October 7th. They will lock horns in a couple of Test matches and then involves in a three-match Twenty20 International series.
