He also confirmed that young batting sensation Sam Konstas will make his Test debut in the upcoming fourth Test.
With the series level at 1-1 and the frontline pacer Josh Hazlewood out due to injury for Australia, Boland's sharp line and length, on-point deliveries will become even more important in determining Australia's ICC World Test Championship final chances.
He has played 11 Tests, picking 40 wickets at an average of 20.42, with best figures of 6/7, which came during his debut Test match at MCG back in 2021 against England. In his another Boxing Day Test appearance against South Africa back in 2022, he took three wickets in two innings.
Boland is absolutely lethal in Australia, having taken 33 scalps in seven games at an average of 13.54. He featured in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide during this series, taking five scalps across both innings, including wickets of Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
