Jake Weatherald's Unenviable Ashes Task: Fill Giant Hole At Top Left By David Warner

By AFP News November 06, 2025 • 10:15 AM View: 324

Australia's tortuous search to replace swashbuckling opener David Warner is over with Jake Weatherald set to pad up in the first Ashes Test, but the selection can't paper over the ageing side's glaring weakness at the top of the order.

Steve Smith, Nathan McSweeney, Sam Konstas, Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne have all been through the revolving door of opening partners for Usman Khawaja since Warner retired in January 2024.
