By IANS News September 23, 2025 • 22:38 PM View: 776

World Test Championship: England have announced their squads for the much-anticipated five-Test Ashes series against Australia and the preceding white-ball tour of New Zealand. Ben Stokes will lead the team in Ashes while continuing his recovery from a shoulder injury that ruled him out of the fifth Test against India earlier this summer.

The Ashes squad is packed with experience and firepower, including the returns of spinner Shoaib Bashir, sidelined mid-India series with a finger injury, and pacer Mark Wood, back from a left knee problem.

Bashir had been ruled out midway through the India Test series after sustaining a finger injury during the Lord's Test.
