Cricket Australia have announced a 13-man squad for the upcoming game. Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon also return to the squad. Australia will be fielding the full-strength squad for the first Test in August.
Pat Cummins only featured in one game, in Adelaide, after recovering from his back injury. Later, Australia did not risk him once the Ashes was secured, as he did not feature in the final two Test matches of the series. Both Cummins and Hazlewood also missed out on the T20 World Cup 2026 but returned in the IPL.

"As previously stated, the volume of cricket and schedule across the next 12 months are likely to present further opportunities across all formats for many players."
