The next time Darren Lehmann sends out a team will be in the Ashes opener against England and the Australia coach already has some firm ideas of who will be playing in Brisbane after a mixed tour of Bangladesh.
Lehmann, who also sits on the selection panel, will be handing over to assistant David Saker for the limited overs tour of India after the Test squad battled back from losing to Bangladesh for the first time to square the series on Thursday.
Some players, most notably off-spinner Nathan Lyon and opener David Warner, bolstered their reputations further on the dusty sub-continental tracks but other spots on the team are now clearly up for grabs.
All-rounder Glenn Maxwell may have smashed a six to win the second Test but Lehmann suggested that 100 runs over four innings and a single wicket are not necessarily going to be enough to earn him a first cap on home soil.
"With number six in Australia, it's totally different to Asia," Lehmann told reporters before Australia left Bangladesh.
"We'll certainly be looking at that position, and anyone can jump out of the pack in the three Shield games and what we think the best make-up is for that first Test. Glenn is there at the moment, like everyone
