Former Australia batter David Boon kept Marnus Labuschagne out of the squad and backed Usman Khawaja to continue as an opener alongside Sam Konstas.
The Bazballing England team would be looking to continue playing their aggressive brand of cricket in Australia, but it won't be easy against the likes of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood.
Talking about Australia, they have got a great bowling unit, but the batters have not been able to perform well for a long time, and it also resulted in their WTC Final loss.
Meanwhile, former ICC Match Referee David Boon said that there won't be too many changes in the Australia squad from the one that travelled to the West Indies. He said:
David Boon picks Australia's playing XI for Ashes opener, Marnus Labuschagne axed
Boon also picked his Australia playing XI with Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Steve Smith, Travis Head, and Cameron Green as the top five, followed by Beau Webster, Alex Carey as No. 6 and No.7. His bowling unit consisted of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon.

Boland will be in the squad - David Boon
“Boland will be in the squad, then it depends, the second opening position may depend on the four shield games prior to the Ashes."
"There are three names for me: (Jake) Weatherald and then two young talented players (Nathan) McSweeney and (Campbell) Kellaway from Victoria. The key is, those that may be in the mix, they have to play those four Shield games for maximum opportunity," he added.
