Ashes 2017/18: England's probable XI for first Test

Bowlers

England boast their all-time and second all-time leading wicket-takers in their bowling attack.

#9 Craig Overton

CA XI v England - Overton in delivery stride

Craig Overton will likely debut in Brisbane this coming week. A tall bowler with the ability to score quick runs and bail his team out of trouble, he will hope to establish himself as a Test cricketer with solid performances in the Ashes.

#10 Stuart Broad

CA XI v England - Broad bowls

Stuart Broad will hope to replicate his Ashes 2015 success which included remarkable figures of 8-15 at Trent Bridge in one of the Tests.

#11 James Anderson

WA XI v England - Anderson charging in

James Anderson will share the new ball with Broad and try to replicate his performances of the 2010-11 series where he took the most wickets (24).
