Australia vs Pakistan 1st Test 2019: Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Tips, Probable XI, Live Telecast Details

Brisbane, Nov 20: Australia will begin their home season as they host Pakistan in the first Test match of summer at The Gabba, Brisbane, starting Thursday (November 21). The upcoming two-match Test series will be Australia's first assignment in the longest format of the game after the Tim Paine-led side retained the Ashes in England earlier this year.

Although the two matches are not going to be a part of the ICC Test Championships the two teams would be aiming to start with a win.

This match will also be Steve Smith and David Warner's first home Test match after their return following their ban on the ball-tampering scandal last year. Australia has already announced that Joe Burns will be opening the innings alongside David Warner. While the middle-order comprises Number 1-ranked Test batsman Steve Smith, Travis Head, and Marnus Labuschagne.

It will also be the first Test assignment for newly-appointed coach Misbah-ul-Haq and captain Azhar Ali for Pakistan. They have already announced that 16-year-old pace sensation Naseem Shah will be making his Test debut at The Gabba. However, the rest of their squad remains uncertain.
