The anticipated seam bowling unit now includes Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland, and Nathan Lyon mainly as bowlers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To replace Hazlewood and Abbott, Michael Neser has been incorporated into the squad by Australia. He has played in Tests before but has never played in Ashes conditions. There are also uncapped options like Brendan Doggett who is being considered as a backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-also-read-injury-update-what-happened-to-shubman-gill-will-he-play-2nd-test-in-guwahati\"><strong>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/sports\/injury-update-what-happened-to-shubman-gill-will-he-play-2nd-test-in-guwahati\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Injury Update: What Happened to Shubman Gill?

He has been declared fit for the Perth Test and could lead their pace attack.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/series\/the-ashes-2025-26\/cricket-news\/josh-hazlewood-ruled-out-of-first-ashes-test-after-pat-cummins-sean-abbott?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-what-this-means-for-the-ashes\"><strong>What This Means for the Ashes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a massive loss for Australia. The absence of Hazlewood and Abbott together with Cummins before the first Test makes their bowling attack less potent and increases the load on the other bowlers. It also gives a <strong>mental advantage to England<\/strong>, who can now confront a less powerful bowling attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia will have to count on experience and take great care in handling their bowling load. Conversely, England will feel that they can exploit this vulnerability in the host&#8217;s bowling attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Written By:- Manjunath S<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia&#8217;s Ashes preparations have suffered a significant setback with the announcement of the exclusion of fast bowler Josh Hazlewood for the opening Test in Perth due to a hamstring strain which already undermines their already feeble pace attack.
