He was initially left out of the team for the first Test before being drafted in as a cover for the injured Josh Hazlewood and went on to take 15 wickets in three Tests, including a maiden five-wicket haul at the Gabba.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\">\n<p>Thanks to his appearance in the series, he has been upgraded to a central contract and will be in contention for Australia&#8217;s busy upcoming Test matches, starting with the home series against Bangladesh in August. As a result, Cricket Australia are trying to manage his workload and have decided to pull him out of his time at Hampshire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\">\n<p>Instead, the club brought in 24-year-old West Indies fast bowler Seals as a replacement. Seales previously played 10 Championship games for Sussex over the past two seasons and was available after going unsold in the recent Pakistan Super League auction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\">\n<p>Giles White, Hampshire&#8217;s director of cricket, said: &quot;It&#8217;s obviously disappointing not to have Michael Neser with us this summer, but it opens the door to exciting new additions.&#8221; \u201cJayden Seales is a bowler with pace, skill and, most importantly, a desire to run hard and take control of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\">\n<p>Hampshire narrowly avoided relegation to Division Two last summer and are due to open this season against Essex on April 3. They have strengthened their batting line-up with the signing of Jake Lehmann, who will play as a local player using his British passport, while Kyle Abbott will return alongside Seales in two overseas slots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nSource Link : https:\/\/www.espncricinfo.com\/ci\/content\/story\/1526942.html?ex_cid=OTC-RSS<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neser, who was scheduled to play in the first six rounds of the Championship match, was unlikely to be the star of Australia&#8217;s recent Ashes series win over England 4-1.
