His NRL<\/a> season may be over, however, many expected to see Victor Radley<\/a> lace up the boots again in 2025 in this year’s Ashes series.<\/p>\n

The Sydney Roosters<\/a> star was recently suspended<\/a> for 10 matches by the club for a drug-related infringement, and will now sit out during England’s Ashes campaign as well.<\/p>\n

Radley informed England<\/a> management earlier this week of his intentions to miss the three-game series against Australia<\/a>, Shaun Wane<\/a> has responded publicly to.<\/p>\n

\u201cVictor has been an outstanding player for England<\/a> for the last three years, but we respect his decision,\u201d Wane said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe need 24 players who are fully focused on the historic opportunity of facing Australia<\/a> in an Ashes series.\u201d<\/p>\n

Radley has played nine tests for England<\/a> and is considered an integral part of their squad, and his absence is sure to leave a gaping whole in their game plan.<\/p>\n

England<\/a> is expected to name their 24-man squad on Monday, October 15.<\/p>\n

The first Test<\/a> of the Ashes Series is at Wembley Stadium, on Saturday October 25.<\/p>\n
