Report: Peter Nevill to replace Brad Haddin for Australia in second Ashes Test

Brad Haddin 'to miss second Ashes Test'

Australia wicket-keeper Brad Haddin will reportedly not play in the second Ashes Test against England at Lord's.

If the 37-year-old is not able to feature, he will be replaced by Peter Nevill, who is set to make his Test debut at the Home of Cricket.

According to the Daily Mail, it is personal reasons rather than a lack of form that is behind the switch in wicket-keepers.

Haddin scored 22 and 7 in the 169-run first Test defeat in Cardiff and also dropped Joe Root in the first innings when he was on zero before going on to score 134.

Bowler Mitchell Starc, meanwhile, is believed to have overcome an ankle injury and should start in two days' time.
