‘Wait And See’: Hughes Questions Wood And Archer’s Fitness To Endure Five-Test Ashes Battle

By IANS News November 08, 2025 • 12:44 PM View: 437

Test Ashes: Former Australian cricketer Merv Hughes has raised concerns over Mark Wood and Jofra Archer’s full-series availability ahead of the all-important Ashes beginning on November 21 at the Optus Stadium in Perth.

With less than two weeks remaining until one of the most anticipated Test series commences, concerns have arisen about Archer and Wood's fitness and their limited experience bowling in Australia. Having already arrived in Perth, the pair will be the main figures of England’s bowling attack against a strong Australian batting line-up.
