England and Australia Announce Squads for Third Ashes Test
England is set to make some changes ahead of the third and final Ashes Test against Australia at Headingley. After losing the first two matches in the series, only pride remains at stake for England in the Leeds clash.
Joe Burgess Returns to England Squad
Joe Burgess will make his first international appearance in over ten years, having been named in England's 19-man squad. Burgess last represented England in 2015 but earned his recall thanks to an outstanding season with Hull KR, where he played a key role in their Treble-winning campaign.
“It's a credit to him, he has a new lease of life at Hull KR. I am so happy to be able to give him a start. That means something to me.”
“I like him - he is a personality and we need more of them, we are just guiding him in a certain way. I don't think we should shackle him. I like him showing his personality.”
— Shaun Wane, England head coach
Other England Squad Updates
- Harry Newman returns to the squad to play at his home ground, replacing Jake Wardle.
- John Bateman is out due to an ankle injury.
- Dom Young is sidelined with a broken foot.
Australia Squad Changes
Australia has only one change for the third Test. Captain Isaah Yeo returns after missing the second Test due to a head injury, with Lindsay Collins moving to the bench.
