    Weatherald And Doggett To Debut As Australia Name XI For Ashes Opener

    By IANS News November 20, 2025 • 10:36 AM View: 369
    Jake Weatherald: Jake Weatherald and Brendan Doggett are set to make their Australian debuts in the opening Ashes Test at Perth Stadium, with Beau Webster dropping out of the final XI.

    Cameron Green’s full return to bowling provided the final assurance selectors needed. Despite the absence of Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood prompting some thought of bolstering the attack, the panel opted to stick with four specialist bowlers, supported by Green’s all-round skills.

    Marnus Labuschagne will slot back into his preferred No. 3 position after an outstanding start to the season with Queensland, while Nathan Lyon also comes back into the side after missing the day-night Test in Jamaica, where Australia selected an all-pace lineup.
