Your team for The Ashes 21/22

Just over two years away and players will emerge who we're not currently aware of, plus players can miss series through injury or wrongful arrest.

All things being equal I can only put Root, Stokes and Archer as the nearest things to certainties. The rest need help.

Don't think Curran will ever develop his bowling enough to be first-change in an ashes series in australia. Think his most likely progression is as a top 6 batsman

The two beanpole blond bowling allrounders in Green and Sutherland may well be around the setup too

He’s a 7.5 with the bat and 3.5 with the ball. His selection depends highly on how the rest of the team is doing.

I forgot about Philippe, would love for him to really kick on. Great talent, got all the shots, just needs to tighten up his game (a lot) and play less loose shots.

Also looks a bit like Steve Smith which can only help

I seriously think he looks a good player. Obviously he needs to really kick on at Shield level first, wouldn't pick him just for the sake of it, but we have seen glimpses of his ability

Unpopular opinion: I feel there's a greater chance of Renshaw going "full Hameed" than reclaiming his place in the Test team.
