Uncapped paceman Joe Mennie is the shock inclusion in Australia’s 12-man squad for the first and second Tests against South Africa. There were no other surprises in the squad revealed on Friday by chairman of selectors Rod Marsh. Usman Khawaja was recalled and will bat at first drop, while Shaun Marsh was retained at the top of the order ahead of Joe Burns. Marsh also gave recalled batsman Usman Khawaja a public rebuke for recent comments regarding his omission. It might have been early in the morning, he loves a sleep-in Usman,” Marsh said in Perth.
