5 problems Australia should deal with ahead of the Ashes

#1 Constant injuries to their fast bowlers is a cause of concern

Mitchell Starc

Without a doubt, Australia’s fast bowling is their biggest strength heading into the Ashes, especially considering the fact that they will play on home conditions which would assist their fast, aggressive bowlers.

But off-late, Mitchell Starc has been injured for a while, although he will return for the Ashes. Even their next strike bowler -- Josh Hazlewood -- has been ruled out of the second test against Bangladesh and the ODI’s against India.

Like all international teams, Australia face the problem of injuries to their fast bowlers. With increased workload and the fact that most of the fast bowlers play in all formats of the game, it makes it even harder for them to stay fresh for longer periods of time.

With Pat Cummins performing well in tiring conditions in Bangladesh and the fact that Starc and Hazlewood will return for the Ashes, Australia won't worry too much about injures to their bowlers for the time-being.

They must ensure that the other fast bowlers and generally all their fast bowlers are looked after well and their workloads looked into as it’s their biggest weapon.
