The World Test Championship (WTC) final will be played between Australia and South Africa from Wednesday, June 11 at Lord's Cricket Ground, London. A day ahead of the mega clash, Australia captain Pat Cummins on Tuesday announced his team's playing XI and explained the reasons behind the selection. Here's Australia's playing XI for WTC final against South Africa:

Usman Khawaja ended a 19-month-long drought for a triple-figure score and reinforced his place in Australia's red-ball setup.

Laid low by back spasm, Jasprit Bumrah could not bowl on the spiciest wicket of the series on the last day of Sydney Test.  

The ICC also decided to punish Virat Kohli after he bumped into Australian batter Sam Konstas Kohli has been fined 20 percent of his match fee and also added one demerit point after he breached Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct.

After taking the catch of Usman Khawaja off Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling, Rishabh Pant achieved a massive milestone on Day 2 of the third Test between India and Australia in Brisbane on Sunday.   

The Indian team will face Australia after sustaining a humiliating defeat in the recently passed home Test series against New Zealand. 

As of now, Jaiswal has scored 1,094 runs in 10 Tests with 3 centuries and 5 fifties.

According to Khawaja, Smith should bat at No. 4 against India in Tests. The left-hander reckons that Smith coming at the No. 4 position will give them the chance to defeat India.  

Replays intensified suspense as West Indies appealed for a catch. Joseph's delivery spun the bail, but it stayed put, saving Carey from an early exit.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the annual awards and yet again the Indian players dominated them. Out of the three teams of the year, two are led by Indians.
