Pacers Scott Boland: Marnus Labuschagne earned a recall while young opener Sam Konstas left out as Australia announced a squad for the first Ashes Test, starting from November 21 in Perth.

Uncapped left-hander Jake Weatherald has a chance to make his Test debut after he was named in 15-player squad.

Former captain Steve Smith will lead the side as Cummins remains sidelined, with fellow batter Travis Head, all-rounders Cameron Green and Beau Webster likely to feature inside the top six.
