Consecutive double centuries have earned Will Pucovski a spot in an expanded Australian test squad that also includes struggling incumbent opener Joe Burns for the four-test series against India.

The 22-year-old Pucovski scored an unbeaten 255 for Victoria against South Australia and 202 against Western Australia in Adelaide in his firt two starts of the domestic first-class Sheffield Shield season.
The 17-man squad also includes uncapped Cameron Green, Sean Abbott, Michael Nesser and legspinner Mitch Swepson, who has taken 23 wickets including three five-wicket hauls in three Shield games for Queensland this season.

The main question over the composition of the test XI for the first test against India in Adelaide starting Dec. 17 is who will open with David Warner, given Burns has scored only 57 runs from five innings in the Shield.
