Opener included in 15-man squad for first Test in Perth

Selectors will wait before making final decision on opening spot
Opener Jake Weatherald has secured a place in Australia’s Ashes squad and is the leading contender to partner Usman Khawaja at the top of the order for the first Test in Perth.
But chief selector George Bailey said the Tasmania batter had not yet secured a spot in the XI, and Australia will wait until the end of the coming round of Sheffield Shield matches before a decision is made on the final line-up.
