MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Alex Carey will be Australia's wicketkeeper for at least the first two Ashes tests, replacing former captain Tim Paine who has taken a mental health break after a 'sexting' scandal.
The 30-year-old from the Riverland town of Loxton in South Australia will make his test debut against England in the Ashes opener at the Gabba on Dec. 8, having represented Australia in 45 one-day internationals and 38 T20 matches.
