Overview

• England says Ben Stokes remains on track for the Perth opener on November 21, with his bowling workload to be assessed in the build-up.
• Shoaib Bashir is the only specialist spinner selected, with Will Jacks recalled as spin cover and a batting all-round option despite a broken finger.
• Mark Wood returns after a left knee injury, joining a pace group that includes Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue, Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse and Matthew Potts.
• Chris Woakes misses the tour as he continues rehabilitation from a dislocated shoulder sustained during the final India Test.
• Ollie Pope retains his batting place but loses the deputy role to Brook, and Australia has yet to announce its squad for the five-Test series across Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.
