England have opened the door for Brydon Carse to return to Test cricket, here's what Marcus North makes of the situation.
Brydon Carse could return to England’s Test squad for the tour of South Africa 🏏
The fast bowler has been named in the Lions squad and could provide cover for Josh Tongue, who will miss the series opener for the birth of his second child.
David Warner has released a video in which he says Usman Khawaja's recounting of the 2018 ball tampering scandal is "100% accurate".
Khawaja has claimed the entire Australia team knew about the use of sandpaper in the match. The bowlers have consistently denied any knowledge.

In his autobiography 'Sabr', Khawaja claimed the entire team should take responsibility for the plot to use sandpaper on the ball against South Africa eight years ago.
A mixed opening day of the Australia white ball tour for @englandcricket.
A good win in their warm-up match inspired by wickets from the returning Rashid & Archer.
But Josh Tongue ruled out of the tour with a toe injury.
