England won't be taking their strongest test team to Australia for the five-match Ashes series, but the hosts are a less than threatening side themselves apart from the pace bowlers, says former England former captain Michael Atherton.
Stokes was unavailable as he continues his indefinite break from cricket to focus on his mental health, while also recovering from a second operation on a broken finger. Curran was left out due to a stress fracture in his lower back. "It's not the strongest squad England have taken to Australia - nor is it the weakest," Atherton wrote in his column for The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-ashes-joe-root-s-uninspiring-england-squad-is-in-desperate-need-of-ben-stokes-qbzdxc8nk."Australia might be so described as well, strong as they are in bowling but less so in batting.
The opening match of the series begins in Brisbane on Dec. 8, with Australia playing their first test since losing to India in January.
