    ‘We Can Keep Root Quiet’: Boland Makes Bold Statement Ahead Of Ashes Opener

    By IANS News November 17, 2025 • 13:54 PM View: 209
    New Delhi: Fast bowler Scott Boland has singled out Joe Root as the key England player Australia aims to silence in the Ashes. The series opener is fast approaching and is set to be played from November 21 at Perth’s Optus Stadium.

    Australia have a history of targeting specific English players – legendary fast bowler Glenn McGrath made it a tradition to focus on England batters before matches, while captain Michael Clarke instructed his bowlers to neutralise Alastair Cook during their 5-0 series win in 2013-14.

    As the first Test approaches, Root has drawn attention from local media because he has yet to score a Test century in the country.
