Here’s a summary of the key information from the provided text:
* Todd Murphy is likely to be left out of the upcoming Test match. The reasoning isn’t about his skill, but rather the conditions favoring seam bowlers. He’s expected to have a good chance to play in the next match in Sydney.
* Jhye Richardson is in contention to play. It would be his first Test since the 2021-22 Ashes, having recovered from shoulder surgery. He’s been building workload and won’t have restrictions. He’s praised for his skills – swing, seam, accuracy, and pace.
* Usman Khawaja will bat at No.5. Australia will continue with the opening pairing of jake Weatherald and Travis head.
* Cameron green has been moved down to No. 7. He’s struggling with the bat and could be playing for his spot in the team, with Alex Carey batting above him. Josh Inglis has been dropped.
* Beau Webster didn’t replace Green. Selectors have shown faith in Green despite his recent form.
