- Curran, Stone and Archer left out as England trust experience
- Anderson has been recovering from a calf injury but will play
England have named their team for the first Ashes Test, with no place for Jofra Archer. The Barbados-born paceman received his maiden call-up for the series opener following his crucial role in England’s World Cup win but must wait for his chance.
He joins all-rounder Sam Curran and fellow quick Olly Stone in missing out, with senior seamers Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad joined by Chris Woakes in the XI. Anderson has been recovering from a calf injury but will play at Edgbaston.
