The Ashes: England has announced a squad of 12 players, not 11, for the Perth Test. The big news is that 3 big players have been kept out of this team. Zerb Bethel, Josh Tongue and Will Jacques have not got a place in the 12 players. (PC-PTI)
England has included the only spinner Shoaib Bashir among the 12 players. Talking about fast bowlers, fast bowlers like Archer, Wood, Atkinson and Carse are included in the 12 players. (PC-PTI)
However, among the 11 players, probably only one of Wood and Carse will play. Wood is not fully fit yet. If he is fit then Kars may have to sit out. Or the team can also take a decision on Shoaib Bashir.(PC-PTI)
