England<\/a> spinner Shoaib Bashir and fast bowler Mark Wood have been named in the squad for the Ashes<\/a> series starting in Australia in November as the country’s cricket board (ECB) announced a 16-man touring list.<\/p>\n

White-ball captain Harry Brook has replaced Ollie Pope as vice-captain of the Test team while Will Jacks, who last played red-ball cricket for England in 2022, has earned a recall.<\/p>\n

“Jacks will miss the white-ball tour of New Zealand (starting in October) with a broken finger but is expected to be fit for the Ashes,” the ECB said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Test captain Ben Stokes continues his recovery from the shoulder injury that ruled him out of the final Test against India… and remains on track to be available for the start of the series in November.”<\/p>\n

Bashir, who fractured his finger in the third Test against India at Lord’s in July, will also miss the New Zealand tour.<\/p>\n

Wood suffered a knee injury during the Champions Trophy in February.<\/p>\n

He underwent surgery the following month, which ruled him out for the summer.<\/p>\n

England will look to reclaim the Ashes for the first time since losing it to Australia in 2017-18 when the first of the five Tests kicks off at Perth on November 21.<\/p>\n

Australia is yet to lock in its squad.<\/p>\n
