\"cricketMelbourne: Australian spinners Ashton Agar and Stephen O’Keefe were on Friday included in the 13-member squad for next week’s third and final cricket Test against Pakistan in Sydney.<\/p>\n

Australia, who have already clinched the series 2-0 following Friday’s innings and 18-run victory, axed batsman Nic Maddinson and fast bowler Chadd Sayers.<\/p>\n

“I think we would, but once we see the weather and the wicket … then we’ll make our decisions from there,” the Kangaroos’ head coach Darren Lehmann<\/a> <\/strong>was quoted as saying by www.cricket.co.au on playing two spinners.<\/p>\n

“(Lyon) bowled beautifully today and there’s no reason why he wouldn’t (play in Sydney). We wanted a left-armer to go away from all of their right-handers.”<\/p>\n

“(Agar has) made Shield hundreds and obviously batted really well on his Test debut. He’s certainly got the talent to be a batting all-rounder or a spinning all-rounder,” the former Aussie all-rounder said.<\/p>\n

Australia’s Third Test squad: Steve Smith (Captain), David Warner (vc), Ashton Agar, Jackson Bird, Hilton Cartwright, Peter Handscomb, Josh Hazlewood, Usman Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, Steve O’Keefe, Matthew Renshaw, Mitchell Starc, Matthew Wade (wk).<\/p>\n
