The Ashes 2021-22 – Squad

Head coach Chris Silverwood has named a 17-player squad for the tour of Australia starting in November 2021. England have named a full-strength squad of available players for the Ashes but there is no place for Ben Stokes in the 17-man party.

Initially, Stokes was not considered for selection as he continues to take an indefinite break from cricket to manage his well-being. Later, Durham all-rounder has been added to the England Men’s Test squad for the Ashes tour of Australia.

Ten of the 18-man squad will be embarking on their first Ashes tour to Australia. That number includes Jos Buttler, the vice-captain, who was not selected for the 2017/18 series.

All of the squad have been capped at Test level which was something Chris Silverwood, the head coach, prioritised. He has long said that he did not want to take any players to Australia who might have to make their debuts in an Ashes Test match.
