Cricket Australia on Sunday introduced a seven-year-oldArchie Schille, who is expectedto lead the hosts in the iconic Boxing Day Test against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

As per reports, Schiller, who suffers from a rare heart condition, will be co-captain alongside Tim Paine starting Wednesday. The leg-spinner, who turned seven on Saturday, from Adelaide is set to partner his idol Nathan Lyon.

Schiller was named in Australia's squad for the Boxing Day Test last month. He trained with the Australian players in Adelaide ahead of the first Test and was also given the team jersey.
