Brendan Doggett is poised to make his Ashes debut following strong domestic performances, as both Australia and England finalise their squads ahead of the upcoming test series in Perth.

Perth

Brendan Doggett is expected to receive his first baggy green cap after a standout season in the Sheffield Shield, joining a depleted Australian fast bowling lineup for the upcoming Ashes series in Perth. His recent form, including multiple five-wicket hauls, has positioned him as a key addition behind established bowlers Mitch Starc and Scott Boland.

Meanwhile, Cam Green is set to return as a test all-rounder, with his fitness potentially influencing squad selection. England's preparations include monitoring the fitness of Mark Wood, who impressed in the nets despite recent injuries, while selectors from both teams face important decisions ahead of the opening test.

He's had to be patient, but Brendan Doggett is set to be rewarded with a baggy green. The 31-year-old has taken 13 wickets in his last two Shield outings and now he enters a depleted Aussie fast bowling cartel behind Mitch Stark and Scotty Boland. He's playing as well as he's ever played. His last 12 months have been unbelievable. Won a Sheffield Shield title for South Australia with a six-far, another five for last week. So, you know, if you talk about form and coming in with form, he's definitely got that. Cam Green is looking forward to a return to test all-rounder status on his home deck and his ability to bowl will have a big impact on Bo Webster's selection. That's the beauty of such a long lead-in, that you can really map it out, make it perfect basically. So, yeah, I feel really fresh. I think that's also another really big positive leading into a five test match series. A historic rivalry gets back underway on Friday and morals will play a big part in this series following that stoush behind the stumps in 2023. No, it's not weird to talk about. It is what it is. I mean, what a series that was in 2023 and that's what probably makes this one so exciting. It had everything. Two great teams, you know, playing an exciting brand of cricket. You know, the controversies that were spoken about. I think by the sounds of how bouncy and true the wicket will be, I might be a bit too far back. Some of my friends not been the best. I'm not sure I'll be reaching the stumps in that far. The golf clubs were packed away today. Joffre Archer didn't bowl, but Mark Wood looked fantastic in the nets. He suffered hamstring tightness in their warm-up game, but he hasn't played since knee surgery back in March. I was batting next to Smirch. I'm sure he can tell you a lot more about that, but I was quite glad that I was in the other net. He's definitely one to avoid on the list. Yeah, he's bowling absolutely rapid today, near enough full tilt, so it's good signs for us, yeah. So England selectors have some big decisions to make ahead of the first test.
