Top 5 bizarre choices by Australian selectors in recent times

#2 Selection of Mitchell Swepson and Ashton Agar in the Test squad for the Indian tour

Mitchell Swepson: Certainly a curious selection

The Test team to India had almost all bases covered with quite a few options in every department. But question marks still prevailed on the names in each department. The spin quartet chosen for the tour raised a few eyebrows when Mitchell Swepson, the leggie from Queensland, was chosen along with Ashton Agar as backups to Nathan Lyon and Steven O'Keefe.

Swepson had decent returns in the Shield games but he cannot be called the best leggie in the country with Adam Zampa and Fawad Ahmed available. Similarly, Ashton Agar seems to have been selected on the basis of his additional ability with the bat. Jon Holland, the leading spinner in the Shield games, meanwhile, seems to have been omitted after just two Tests in Sri Lanka.
