Ashes: England Include Bashir, Potts In 12-member Squad For SCG Test
Sydney Cricket Ground: England have included off-spinner Shoaib Bashir and seamer Matthew Potts in their 12-man squad for the fifth Ashes Test against Australia, to be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Sunday.
Fast bowler Gus Atkinson is the only absentee from the side that secured a four-wicket victory in the fourth Test inside two days at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The pacer has been ruled out of the match due to a hamstring injury.
The inclusion of Bashir and Potts gives England flexibility as they seek to sign off from the series on a high, especially with conditions at the SCG traditionally offering more assistance to spin bowling as compared to other Australian venues. Both Bashir and Potts are now in consideration to make their Ashes debut by replacing an injured Atkinson.
