The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) emphasized that the Ashes visit will occur dependent upon a few basic conditions being met by Cricket Australia before they travel in November.
There will be no Ben Stokes or Jofra Archer in the current year’s Ashes for England yet Jos Buttler has been named in the 17-member squad they named on Sunday.
“Durham’s Ben Stokes was not available for selection and continues to take an indefinite break from all cricket to prioritise his mental wellbeing and rehabilitation from his injured left index finger,” said the ECB.
All-rounder Sam Curran has experienced a stress fracture in his lower back in light of which he wasn’t considered for selection.
As such the squad has an attempted and confided in feel, with no uncapped Test players chose. That implies potential ‘special’ picks, for example, Lancashire triplet have all been disregarded however they can hope to shape part of the Lions crew which will shadow the beginning phases of the visit and could yet be called upon.
Nottinghamshire seamer Stuart Broad, who is to set out on his fourth Ashes visit, is gaining phenomenal headway from his torn right calf supported in the mid year during the Test series against India. One week from now, he is set to get back to bowling at The ECB Performance Center in Loughborough, where the Ashes and Lions squad will get ready for the Australia visit.
Engalnd 17-player squad: Joe Root (captain), James Anderson, Jonathan Bairstow, Dom Bess, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler, Zak Crawley, Haseeb Hameed, Dan Lawrence, Jack Leach, Dawid Malan, Craig Overton, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood
