Australia vs England, 1st Test: Venue, Playing XIs, Date, Live Streaming, All You Need To Know

England will be hoping to get their hands on the urn when they take on Australia in the Ashes opener in Perth starting on November 21. Verbal volleys and off-pitch counterattacks have made it an unmissable event for all cricket lovers around the world.

Steve Smith is all set to hone his leadership in the absence of Pat Cummins in the first Test, and Perth will set the tone for the remainder of the series. Australia have named two debutants in Jake Weatherald and Brendan Doggett, while Cameron Green has been announced fit. Beau Webster misses out despite his valiant showing with the bat in the last few Test matches.

Mitchell Starc will lead the bowling lineup, while Nathan Lyon has also been included, keeping in mind the dryness on the Perth surface.

England have also named a 12-member squad for the 1st Test. Mark Wood's availability is a big boost for the Three Lions, and the 35-year-old will shoulder the bowling responsibility alongside Jofra Archer. Wood was a concern after he felt some stiffness in his hamstring. But later scans showed there's no major concern, and the fast bowler even bowled with his full pace during the first practice at Optus Stadium.
