Ashes spots on line, ‘RoKo’ return
Australia head into the Ashes with the challenge of eight matches against India, which gives opportunities for places in the Test squad next month and beyond.
Fresh from their second-highest ODI total ever – and the ninth-highest of all time – of 431 in the third match against South Africa, Australia will be hoping to replicate that form against India.
In the forthcoming Ashes, it is unclear who will open the batting, or who will bat at No. 3, while an injury to captain Pat Cummins leaves Australia’s bowling depth tested.Cameron Green has pulled out of the series as a precaution, which sees in-form batter Marnus Labuschagne called up, fresh from his fourth century of the season and eyeing up a spot back in the Australia Test side.
Meanwhile, there is a return to the India side of legendary figures Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
The former India captains return to international cricket for the first time since the Champions Trophy earlier this year.
