In the lead up to Australia's 2017 tour to India, enigmatic NSW coach Q. Felt was appointed to take over the reins of the national squad. Former coach Darren Lehmann has done a wonderful job to take Australia back to the #2 spot in the test world ratings, behind only England, but an away assignment against 3rd India will be a baptism of fire for Q.
Together with the national selection panel, Q has put the following squad together for the 3 match test series (shown with their 1st class stats from last season). The squad is mostly familiar faces with the only bolter 23 year old Tasmanian off spinner Richard Monks who is expected to play a crucial role on the turning Indian pitches, especially with fellow young gun Ashton Agar under an injury cloud coming into the tour (he is expected to be out for a further 4 days).
The challenge doesn't stop there for Q's Australian team, with a tough summer looming as they play tests against England and New Zealand.
