SYDNEY: Australia has announced an unchanged 15-member squad for the fifth and final Ashes Test against England, set to begin in Sydney on Sunday.
Captain Steve Smith and the rest of the group had their first training session at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday.
Australia leads the series 3-1. The host won the first two Tests in Perth and Brisbane by the same margin – eight wickets. The side triumphed by 82 runs in the third fixture in Adelaide to retain the Ashes.
England registered its first Test win on Australian soil in nearly 15 years as the visitor beat Steve Smith’s side by four wickets in two days in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.
