Stanlake moves into contention for Australia Test squad selection
Summary

Australian selectors are monitoring Stanlake as a potential fast-bowling option for the Test side. The tall pacer has recently returned to competitive cricket through white-ball formats following a career significantly hindered by injuries. While he has been absent from the Test setup for several years, his progress in shorter formats has prompted renewed interest from the national panel. His ability to maintain fitness and form remains the primary focus for the team's management as they evaluate their depth for upcoming fixtures. No formal call-up has been issued, but his inclusion in discussions signals a shift in the selection hierarchy.
