The historic Ashes series 2023, being hosted by England, has now reached its final stage. The 5th and last Test of the series between England and Australia will be played at the Kennington Oval in London from 27 July. So far four matches of the series have been played, out of which the last match was a draw due to rain. At the same time, Australia has maintained a 2-1 lead in the series by winning the first two matches. If the Kangaroo team will come out with the intention of winning the series by winning the last test, then the English team would like to end the series on par by winning the 5th test. As always, before the match, England announced its team. This test can also be a farewell test for a veteran.
Actually, the veteran fast bowler of the English team, James Anderson, is now going to be 41 years old. He is facing a very bad phase in the Ashes series. He could only take 4 wickets in three matches of this series. Anderson has previously declared that the Ashes series could be his last tournament at home. In such a situation, it is believed that he is going to play the last Test of his career at Kennington Oval in London.
Talking about the fifth and final Test match of the Ashes series, there has been no change in the England team squad. It is being speculated that captain Ben Stokes will take the field with the same fourth Test team, which brought Australia to the back foot in the fourth test. However, some veterans are also showing the possibility of change.
Ben Stokes (c), Harry Brook, Joe Root, Moeen Ali, Jack Crowley, Josh Tongue, James Anderson, Ben Duckett, Chris Woakes, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Dan Lawrence, Mark Wood, Stuart Broad, Ollie Robinson.
