Jofra Archer is poised for selection in England’s pace attack for the Ashes opener against Australia in Perth, showcasing confidence after a successful warm-up match. Archer, who has battled injuries since his Test debut in 2019, demonstrated his readiness by bowling effectively against India earlier this year. Meanwhile, Mark Wood’s chances for selection are slim due to limited overs bowled in practice after knee surgery. Australia faces its own challenges with Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood sidelined for the first Test.
