MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia selectors have shaken up the squad's underperforming batting lineup for the two-test series against Pakistan by dumping top order batsmen Usman Khawaja and Marcus Harris while handing a surprise recall to Cameron Bancroft.

Opener Harris averaged 9.66 against England in the last three tests of the Ashes and has been jettisoned in favour of Queensland's Joe Burns for the series, which starts in Brisbane on Nov. 21.
