After playing in the first two Tests against South Africa this summer, Nevill was dropped for the dead rubber third match in favour of Matthew Wade.
Nevill, who scored a total of 92 runs – including an unbeaten 60 – across four innings, was demoted back to Shield cricket, with selectors preferring the big-hitting Wade down the order.
It was a decision many saw coming after Australia went behind 0-2 in the series, and Nevill says he has no complaints.
