Big News Regarding Ben Stokes & Anderson As England Announce 12-Man Squad For 1st Ashes Test

By IANS News December 07, 2021 • 12:51 PM View: 1744

All-rounder Ben Stokes has been included in England's 12-member squad for the opening Ashes Test beginning at The Gabba on December 8, putting to rest speculation that he might not be considered for the first Test as he is returning to competitive cricket after a long time.

Stokes could, however, still be dropped from England's playing XI as skipper Joe Root will take a call on the final XI at the toss.
