The 2025 Ashes series kicks off in Perth with England chasing a historic first win Down Under since 2010-11, while Australia manages injuries to key pacers and debuts two Indigenous players.

Ashes 2025: England aim to break Australia drought in Perth

The 2025 Ashes series kicks off in Perth with England chasing a historic first win Down Under since 2010-11, while Australia manages injuries to key pacers and debuts two Indigenous players.

The build-up to the Ashes series starting Friday began at the end of July 2023 following one of the more acrimonious test cricket series between England and Australia.&nbsp;
Ben Stokes and his England lineup won that test at The Oval in South London but it wasn't enough to reclaim the Ashes from the Aussies, who won the first two tests and drew the fourth in a five-match series to retain the old urn.
Cue to Perth Stadium, Day 1 of a possible 25 spanning seven weeks and five cities. There are some big questions in play.
Can an aging, understrength Australia continue an unbeaten run in home Ashes tests that dates to the 2010-11 series? Can Stokes inspire an end to that long drought for England? Can Joe Root, the world's No. 1-ranked test batter, finally post an Ashes century in Australia?
The English
Stokes knows the record: 13 losses, two draws and no wins in England's last 15 tests Down Under. He's thinking more about the 2010-11 squad that beat the Australians 3-1.
&ldquo;I've come here absolutely desperate to get home on that plane in January as one of the lucky few captains from England who have come here and been successful,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;A lot has been spoken of about the history and how it has gone for England &mdash; this is our chance to create our own.&rdquo;
In a bid to break the drought, England is likely to start a pair of express pace bowlers in conditions expected to suit them. Jofra Archer is primed to do well in Australia and 35-year-old Mark Wood recovered from a minor hamstring strain to be including in the 12-man match squad for the first test.
&ldquo;He's flying,&rdquo; Stokes said of Wood, who took 17 wickets in the last Ashes series in Australia. &ldquo;He's had all his injury troubles and all that kind of stuff ... but he's been bowling for a long, long time. &ldquo;He has always been someone who can just hit the ground running in a game. And he's bowling rapid, which is good.&rdquo;
The Aussies
Australia captain Pat Cummins and fellow paceman Josh Hazlewood will be missing the first test because of injuries, leaving Australia's attack without half of its frontline bowlers. The remaining half &mdash; left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc and offspinner Nathan Lyon &mdash; are confident that the team can win on what is expected to be a fast, bouncy pitch in Perth.
Brendan Doggett is set to make his test debut alongside fellow fast bowler Scott Boland, making it the first time the men's test XI will contain two players with Australian Indigenous heritage. &ldquo;Good to see the depth in the squad,&rdquo; Starc said. &ldquo;We know what Scotty Boland can do, ... (and) Doggie's' coming off a hot streak at the moment.&rdquo;
Cameron Green's fitness to bowl means he'll fill the allrounder spot and Australia can give opening batter Jake Weatherald a test debut at the age of 31. The flow-on means Marnus Labuschagne will return at No. 3, with stand-in skipper Steve Smith at No. 4 and allrounder Beau Webster has been cut from the lineup.
&ldquo;Beau came into international cricket and lit it up immediately, so I think it's a really tough one on him," Smith said. "He's the one that misses out unfortunately. &ldquo;But I think with Marnus, when he's batting at his best at No. 3, it makes us a very, very good cricket side."
Smith's role
The 36-year-old Smith will lead Australia for the third time this year and the seventh time since his era as full-time captain ended with the Sandpapergate scandal in 2018. He filled in as skipper the last time England toured Australia in 2021-22, after Cummins was forced to isolate for the Adelaide test during the COVID-19 pandemic.
&ldquo;He's a lot more relaxed as a person all round," Starc said of his longtime teammate. "Even the times that he's captained since, when he's had to fill in for Pat, it's a different approach. &ldquo;He's still that competitive beast, and still wants to be the best, and still will leave no stone unturned. But I think he's finding a few outlets to actually switch off from time to time ... and just not be cricket 100% of the time.&rdquo;
Squads
Australia: Jack Weatherald, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith (captain), Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Brendan Doggett, Scott Boland.
England (from): Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (captain), Jamie Smith, Brydon Carse, Gus Atkinson, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Shoaib Bashir.

Ashes 2025: Australia name playing XI for Perth Test; Weatherald, Doggett to make debut

Australia hand debuts to Jake Weatherald and Brendan Doggett in the opening Ashes Test against England, with Steve Smith expressing confidence in the new-look Playing XI.

Australia skipper Steve Smith said Thursday it was "really exciting" to see Jake Weatherald and Brendan Doggett make their debuts in the opening Ashes Test against England, backing them to perform on the biggest stage.
The pair, both 31, will earn their baggy green caps at a sold-out Perth Stadium on Friday -- the first time Australia have chosen multiple debutants in a Test since early 2019.
Weatherald's inclusion as Usman Khawaja's sixth opening partner since David Warner retired last year means in-form Marnus Labuschagne can return to his favoured number three.
Labuschagne was dropped ahead of Australia's mid-year Test tour of the West Indies after an extended lean spell but came roaring back with five centuries in eight innings this season for Queensland.
Incumbent number three Cameron Green edged out Beau Webster as the all-rounder and will now come in at six, behind Smith at four and Travis Head at five.
"I watched him bat in the nets pretty closely the last few days and they were pretty tricky nets, fast, bouncy and a lot of seam," Smith, standing in as captain for the injured Pat Cummins, said of Weatherald.
"And you know, he's got a lot of courage. He wants to face bowlers the entire time, and the guys were charging in fast.
"I'm really excited for him. He's worked hard for a long period of time and I think he's going to complement Uzzie (Khawaja) pretty well up top."
 - 'Improved a hell of a lot' -
Doggett, an outstanding bowler in domestic cricket over recent years, will pull on an Australia shirt for the first time after Josh Hazlewood was ruled out with a hamstring strain.
Cummins is also missing as he returns to fitness from a back injury, replaced by Scott Boland.
Boland and Doggett lead the pace attack alongside Mitchell Starc, with Smith confident they will rise to the occasion.
"Injuries happen in sport, particularly in cricket with fast bowlers, they put a lot of stress through their bodies," said Smith.
"So unfortunate, obviously, that those two are out, but I think an exciting opportunity for Scotty and for Brendan Doggett.
"Brendan's been on a few tours with Australia. He is very skillful. I think he's improved a hell of a lot the last few years and I'm excited to see him go about his business."
Nathan Lyon, in his 140th Test, provides the spin option with the veteran generally thriving on home soil, where he has bagged 268 of his 562 Test wickets at an average of 31.08.
He needs two more to surpass Glenn McGrath and become the sixth-highest wicket-taker in history.
"It looks a good wicket, pretty similar to last year's one," said Smith. "I think it's going to have some decent pace and bounce in it."
England drew 2-2 at home in the most recent Ashes series, in 2023, but have not won in Australia since 2010/2011.
The visitors have named a squad of 12 for the first Test and will confirm their team at the toss.
Australia team: Jake Weatherald, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith (capt), Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland, Brendan Doggett

Perth to host India's first Test against Australia in November: Report

According to a report in The Sydney Morning Herald, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney have also been picked as the venues for the blockbuster series.

Perth is set to host the opening Test of the 5-match series during the much-anticipated India's tour of Australia later this year.
According to a report in The Sydney Morning Herald, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney have also been picked as the venues for the blockbuster series.
"Adelaide will host the second Test and Brisbane the third, with the Boxing Day and New Year's Tests keeping their traditional time slots in Melbourne and Sydney," the report said.
The Adelaide Test will be a day-night affair.
Cricket Australia is yet to come out with its schedule for the next season but a final announcement is expected by the end of this month.
The series is likely to start in late November this year.
It will be the first time India will play a five-match series in Australia since the 1991-92 tour, which the hosts won 4-0.
In the past four series between the two teams, India have won on all four occasions, including back-to-back Test series wins in 2018-19 and 2020-21.
In the 2018-19 series, Perth had hosted the second Test, which the hosts won by 146 runs. Ahead of the 2020-21 series between the two countries, Western Australia Cricket Association (WACA) was reportedly upset with the Cricket Australia's decision to not allot a single Test to Perth.

But Brisbane brought themselves back in the game with two quick wickets as the defending champions needed 38 off the last 3 overs.
Nick Hobson and Cooper Connolly, then, ensured there would be no more hiccups as Perth went over the line with 3 balls to spare.
Earlier, a combined batting effort from Heat propelled them to 175-7 but that was not enough in the end.

Potentially deadly radioactive capsule goes missing in Australia

Potentially deadly radioactive capsule goes missing in Australia: report

Emergency services said they were hampered by a lack of equipment and have called on the Commonwealth and other states to provide assistance.

Emergency services said they were hampered by a lack of equipment and have called on the Commonwealth and other states to provide assistance

Authorities in Western Australia were searching for a tiny but potentially deadly radioactive capsule that got lost while being transported on a truck from a mine to a depot in the city of Perth, officials said Saturday.
Emergency services said they were hampered by a lack of equipment and have called on the Commonwealth and other states to provide assistance.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services has deployed teams with handheld radiation detection devices and metal detectors along 36 km (22 miles) of a busy freight route to look for the 8 mm by 6 mm (0.31 inches by 0.24 inches) unit.
It is believed to have fallen off the back of a truck on a 1,400-km (870-mile) journey from the Rio Tinto mine in Newman to the Perth suburb of Malaga.

&ldquo;What we're not doing is trying to find a tiny little device by eyesight,&rdquo; said Superintendent Darryl Ray, adding they were concentrating on populated areas north of Perth and strategic sites along the Great Northern Highway.
"We're using the radiation detectors to locate the gamma rays,&rdquo; he said.
Authorities were also using the truck's GPS data to determine the exact route the driver took and where it stopped after it left the mine on or about January 10.
There are concerns the solid capsule may have already become lodged in another vehicle's tyre and potentially be hundreds of km (miles) away from the search area.
It is believed a screw became loose inside a large lead-lined gauge and the unit fell through a hole.
Rio Tinto said it contracted an expert radioactive materials handler to package the capsule and transport it &ldquo;safely&rdquo; to the depot and was not told it was missing until Wednesday.
Chief Health Officer Andrew Robertson defended the Western Australia government's decision to wait two days to inform the public on Friday, saying the mine and depot had to be searched and excluded, and the route confirmed.
He said the capsule was packed in accordance with the radiation safety transport and regulations inside a box bolted onto a pallet.
&ldquo;We believe the vibration of the truck may have impacted the integrity of the gauge, that it fell apart and the source actually came out of it,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It is unusual for a gauge to come apart like this one has.&rdquo; An investigation will look at the handling of the gauge and capsule at the mine site, the transport route used and the procedures at the depot in Perth after it arrived on January 16.
Police have determined the incident to be an accident and no criminal charges are likely.
Authorities ruled out theft at the depot before the box was opened on Wednesday.
The small silver cylinder is a caesium 137 ceramic source commonly used in radiation gauges.
Robertson previously said the unit emits the equivalent of 10 X-rays in an hour and members of the public should stay at least 5 metres (16 feet) away. Contact could result in skin damage, burns and radiation sickness, including impacts to the immune and gastrointestinal systems.
Long-term exposure could also cause cancer, however, experts say the capsule cannot be weaponised.
&ldquo;Our concern is someone will pick it up, not knowing what it is, think this is something interesting (and) keep it,&rdquo; Robertson said.&nbsp;

Using a drop-in pitch allows the stadium/venue to have a multi-purpose role. While the pitches are dropped in during the cricket season, these venues can be used for other sporting events as well as music concerts during the off-season. 

What are 'drop-in pitches' being used at T20 World Cup? Editorji explains

The #T20WorldCup currently underway Down Under has once again drawn attention to 'drop-in pitches' that are being used at several venues across Australia.

Here's all you need to know about these drop-in pitches.

Using a drop-in pitch allows the stadium/venue to have a multi-purpose role. While the pitches are dropped in during the cricket season, these venues can be used for other sporting events as well as music concerts during the off-season.&nbsp;

'Drop-in pitch' - you must have heard the term while watching a cricket match that's taking place in Australia or New Zealand.
The T20 World Cup currently underway Down Under has once again drawn attention to these drop-in pitches.
&nbsp;
So, what exactly is a drop-in pitch?
Like, the name would suggest, these pitches are not made at the venue itself but are dropped in. In fact, these custom-made pitches are prepared elsewhere, before they are put onto cement slabs and transported to their destination. These panels are then dropped a few inches deep into the ground, and the artificial turf is then rolled around it to level the surface.
&nbsp;
Why are drop-in pitches used?
Using a drop-in pitch allows the stadium/venue to have a multi-purpose role. While the pitches are dropped in during the cricket season, these venues can be used for other sporting events as well as music concerts during the off-season.
For example - the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground, Adelaide Oval and Eden Park in Auckland host a variety of sports, including football, AFL &amp; rugby apart from cricket. Once the cricket season is over, these drop-in pitches are taken out and away to allow other sporting events. Before the cricket season begins, they are once again put back in place.
&nbsp;
Future of drop-in pitches These drop-in pitches are being used at Australian venues since 1996. Earlier, there were doubts about the quality since these pitches were made in steel casings and didn't have the natural variation that comes with the usual deterioration of the surface. In fact, they were deemed 'too flat' in the past.
But advances, both in terms of understanding the topography and the contents of the soil used, have enhanced the quality of the contest as well. It also allows the curator to modify the pitch as he/she deems fit, which would not have been possible with conventional tracks.
Due to these advancements, countries like Pakistan are now looking at using drop-in pitches at their venues to maximise their revenues through year-round events.
