The debate over Australia's wicketkeeper for the Ashes series has ended after Cricket Australia named Alex Carey as Tim Paine's replacement.
Carey is set to make his Test debut in the first Test at Brisbane.
After being named in the Australia Test squad, Carey said that his focus is on preparing and playing his part in helping Australia secure the Ashes.

Carey will become 461st player to represent Australia's men's Test team, when he will receive the Baggy Green in the first Ashes Test, starting December 8 at The Gabba.
Paine's resignation as Test captain and subsequent decision to take an indefinite break from the game left Australia in need of a new keeper less than a fortnight before the country's most anticipated cricket contest.
