England’s selection panel faces crucial decisions this week as they finalise the starting eleven for the first Ashes Test against Australia in Perth, starting November 21st.

With Pat Cummins ruled out of the opener, Steve Smith steps up to lead the hosts. Ben Stokes’s side is expected to field an aggressive lineup, blending proven Test performers with dynamic, in-form quicks.

The selection choices reflect the management’s commitment to pace-friendly options and a clear structure in the top six batting order.
