Australia will continue their red-ball summer with a three-game series against South Africa, beginning with the first Test in Brisbane.

After making light work of West Indies in their 2-0 series win, the Aussies will now face a much tougher task and will be hoping to continue their strong form.

Pat Cummins will likely be back in action for the series against the Proteas, but the same can't be said for fellow paceman Josh Hazlewood, who has been ruled out through injury.

South Africa will boast a strong squad that includes the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Dean Elgar and Temba Bavuma.
