Australia’s captain Steven Smith has chosen to bat first against Pakistan in the first ODI at the Gabba. The hosts have two debutants in Chris Lynn and Billy Stanlake, while Travis Head moves up to open alongside David Warner instead of the jettisoned Aaron Finch. Glenn Maxwell also returns to the XI.
Pakistan were unable to consider Shoaib Malik, meaning the inclusion of two spin-bowling allrounders in Imad Wasim and Mohammad Nawaz. Junaid Khan missed out on selection.
Brisbane is in for a hot day and the surface looks brimful of runs.
Australia: 1 David Warner, 2 Travis Head, 3 Steven Smith (capt), 4 Chris Lynn, 5 Mitchell Marsh, 6 Glenn Maxwell, 7 Matthew Wade (wk), 8 James Faulkner, 9 Pat Cummins, 10 Mitchell Starc, 11 Billy Stanlake.
Pakistan: 1 Azhar Ali (capt), 2 Sharjeel Khan, 3 Mohammad Hafeez, 4 Babar Azam, 5 Umar Akmal, 6 Mohammad Rizwan (wk), 7 Imad Wasim, 8 Mohammad Nawaz, 9 Mohammad Amir, 10 Wahab Riaz, 11 Hasan Ali.
