Meanwhile, Pakistan have opted for an inexperienced bowling attack, giving Test debuts to Aamer Jamal and Khurram Shahzad. He is expected to support frontline fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi. Shan Masood's strategy for Pakistan's bowling attack consists of four seamers and one spinner, a lineup tailored for the conditions at Perth Stadium, where the pitch offers significant bounce and carry.
Australia: David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitch Marsh, Alex Carey, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins (captain), Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
