ADELAIDE: Crisis-hit Australia made six changes to their Test squad Sunday for this week's third day-night Test against South Africa in Adelaide.

Selectors named debutants Matt Renshaw, Peter Handscomb and Nic Maddinson in a 12-man squad with pacemen Chadd Sayers and Jackson Bird returning, and Matthew Wade comes in at wicketkeeper.

Australia last made as many as six changes in 1984, when they faced the then formidable West Indies.
