Alex Carey has welcomed Josh Inglis with open arms into the Test team's "Keepers Club", saying they are good mates despite their ongoing battle for selection.

Carey enters the series in hot form, having plundered a competition-leading 452 runs at an average of 90.4 in three Sheffield Shield games this season.
