Australia has named its squad for the first Test against Pakistan, including the recall of uncapped quick Lance Morris. David Warner has been included in the squad, sparking controversy due to his past involvement in the 'sandpapergate' scandal. Mitchell Johnson has criticized Warner's desire for a Test farewell, likening it to arrogance and disrespect. Usman Khawaja has defended Warner against Johnson's criticism. The squad selection has raised questions and speculation, particularly regarding the opening partner for Khawaja. Additionally, Michael Neser has been withdrawn from the PM's XI clash with Pakistan to ensure readiness for a potential Test recall.
