Brisbane. The Ashes series is going to start from 8th December. The first match (Australia vs England) is to be played in Brisbane. Australia had already declared playing-11 for the match. Now England has also announced the 12-man squad. James Anderson has been rested for the first Test. Chris Woakes has got his place in his place. Ben Stokes is also going to return to the field from the series. He withdrew from the T20 World Cup citing mental health.
Apart from fast bowler Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes, Ollie Robinson and Mark Wood have got a place in the list of 12 members released by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). In such a situation, one of these bowlers will have to sit outside. Left-arm spinner Jack Leach has also been included in the team. In such a situation, he is sure to play. Although the England team has not been able to win on this ground since 1986. But the return of Stokes has strengthened the team.
Ollie Pope gets a chance in place of Bairstow
Jonny Bairstow has not found a place in the 12-man squad. Bairstow’s performance against India was not good. Captain Joe Root is running in excellent form. No other batsman in the world has scored more runs than him this year. On the other hand, Australia’s new Test captain Pat Cummins would also like to leave his mark. Before the series, captain Tim Paine had resigned after the controversy. Australia was defeated by Team India in the last series played at home. In such a situation, England would also like to repeat it.
Both teams are as follows
12-man England squad: Joe Root, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler, Haseeb Hameed, Jack Leach, David Malan, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.
Australia Playing XI: David Warner, Marcus Harris, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Captain (Vice Captain), Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (WK), Pat Cummins (C), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
