Peter Nevill might be the best keeper in the country. But, despite his defiant batting display in the two Tests, he isn't a good enough option in Tests as a batsman. Handscomb has been a revelation ever since his debut season for Victoria and even earned a call-up to the ODI squad in 2015 but did not earn a debut.

While he is just an occasional keeper, he could contribute vital runs for Australia down the order and could strengthen the lower middle order that looks pretty weak at the moment. In 60 first class matches, Handscomb has an average of 38.71 with 8 hundreds and 24 fifties.

In the 2015-16 Sheffield season, he finished as the third highest run-getter, scoring 784 runs at an average of 43.55. Handscomb's current form could auger well for an Australian team in search of solid batsmen.
