Australia have announced the&nbsp;12-member squad for the second Test of a five-match Ashes series, which is scheduled to begin on August 14 at Lord's cricket stadium.&nbsp;

James Pattinson, who picked two wickets and also scored a crucial unbeaten 47-run knock in the second innings of the first Test, has been left out.&nbsp;

Left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc, who did not play the first Test at Edgbaston because he was recovering from a knee injury, is included in the 15-man squad.

Josh Hazlewood has also been named as he impressed during last week's&nbsp;tour match at Worcester, where he returned figures of 3-34.

The playing XI will be announced at the time of toss.&nbsp;

"What is fortunate at the moment is we've got six fit and healthy fast bowlers," &nbsp;said head coach Justin Langer at Monday's pre-match press conference.

"I've been coaching for about 10 years now and I can't ever remember having that luxury, but it could change like that so we're not getting carried away with it.

"The fact that we had Josh and Mitch on the bench in the last Test match, it doesn't happen very often," the coach added.&nbsp;

Australia is currently leading the series 1-0 after winning the first Test match by 251 runs.&nbsp;

David Warner, who failed to leave an impact in&nbsp;the Edgbaston Test, will again open for Australia alongside&nbsp;Cameron Bancroft.&nbsp;

On being asked about Warner's form, coach Justin Langer said, "I like it when great players miss out."&nbsp;

"It means statistically they'll probably get some pretty soon, so hopefully it's this Test," Langer quoted by&nbsp;cricket.com.au.&nbsp;

Ashes 2019: Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood named in Australia's 12-man squad for Lord's Test

'Queensland' opener Matt Renshaw will fly to Johannesburg on Tuesday night to join the Australian squad which is currently reeling under the backlash of the ball-tampering scandal.&nbsp

The 21-year old, who&nbspwas dropped ahead of the Ashes series in favour of Cameron Bancroft, will fly for the final test against South Africa.

Bancroft is one of two players charged by the ICC for altering the condition of the ball using a foreign substance.

He copped three demerit points and a 75 per cent match fee deduction.

Meanwhile, former Australian skipper Steve Smith, who stepped down from his post following the controversy, has been suspended by the ICC for the fourth Test and a 100 per cent match fee deduction has been imposed.&nbsp

Further action is awaited from Cricket Australia with the board's CEO James Sutherland arriving in South Africa to assess the findings of an investigation conducted by Integrity officer Iain Roy.

Renshaw has been in tremendous touch after Christmas by posting three centuries in as many games to lead the Bulls into the Shield final.
