The Australians have been out of luck ahead of the Ashes, as several of their players have been ruled out of play due to injuries. The Ashes begins with the first Test on the 21st of November in Perth and will conclude on the 8th of January with the final game in Sydney.
Steve Smith will be leading the Aussies against the English when the two teams clash for 5 days of intensified Test cricket action in Perth. He is Australia's stand-in skipper in regular captain Pat Cummins' absence.
Doesn’t look too serious but Steve Smith did get a lot of attention from the team doctor for his left hand. Seemed to hurt it in some way while attempting a pull shot in the nets, maybe turning that hand awkwardly in the process #Ashes pic.twitter.com/LjtbxcRPlf

The very next set of injury setbacks, which affected participation, came in the form of two other pace bowlers, Josh Hazlewood and Sean Abbott. They both were picked by the Aussies for the first Test and had to be ruled out, instead bringing in Michael Neser as a replacement.

The English team has been in Oceania since they arrived for the white-ball series against New Zealand. The England Lions have also made a move to Australia for a series with Australia A, which will be played simultaneously alongside the Ashes series.
The 34-year-old was last seen in the series against India, where he boasted as England's highest scorer again, and with his unstoppable form, he is likely to end his century drought in Australia. Though he has 4 hundreds against the nation, he has none in the country itself.
