Australia set to name squad for Fifth Ashes Test

SEN • December 30th, 2025 7:15 pm

According to Code Sports' Dan Cherny, Australia will name an unchanged squad for the Fifth Ashes Test.

While the hosts may have lost their first Ashes Test on home soil since 2011 at the MCG, they have decided against bringing in any new names to face the final Test.

The starting XI will be confirmed in the coming days.

The Fifth Test will take place at the Sydney Cricket Ground with the first ball being bowled on January 4.

SEN will have LIVE coverage of every ball throughout the series through its radio network and on the SEN app.
