Fast bowler James Pattinson is set to make is long awaited return to the Australia Test team, as he is expected to be picked in this weeks Ashes opener at Edgbaston.
The 29-year-old hasn’t worn the baggy green in over 3 years due to back injuries, his last Test coming February 2016. Australian coach Justin Langer announced today that “it’s a great story” that the Victorian will be back playing for his country.
Pattinson will join Pat Cummins in the Australian pace attack, with the selectors still decide between Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood or Peter Siddle for the final spot.
