Australia has unveiled its squad for the opening Ashes Test against England, aiming to extend their dominance over the urn into a second decade. The team faces a significant setback as captain and pace bowler Pat Cummins will miss the first Test due to a back injury. Scott Boland is set to step in as his replacement. Tasmania’s Jake Weatherald has earned his maiden call-up and could potentially open the batting, adding a fresh dynamic to the squad. The series kicks off on November 21, with the final Test scheduled for January 4.
