He last played a Test in 2019.<br \/>&#8220;Peter Handscomb deserves his place back in the squad. His domestic form has been strong recently and Pete has proven he can perform at the Test level,&#8221; former skipper and current chief selector George Bailey had said in a statement.<br \/>&#8220;His experience against spin on the subcontinent is valuable and he is also an exceptionally good close to the wicket catcher.&#8221; <\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n
