Joe Burgess Set to End England Absence After Squad Changes
England have announced their 19-man squad for the third and final Ashes Test against Australia at Headingley this Saturday. Two changes have been made to the lineup that fell 14–4 in the second Test.
Squad Adjustments and Context
Head coach Shaun Wane introduced Hull KR winger Joe Burgess and Leeds Rhinos centre Harry Newman to the squad, replacing Dom Young and Jake Wardle from the previous selection. If both take the field, every player from England’s 24-man autumn squad will have featured in at least one Test.
Series Situation
After losses of 26–6 and 14–4 in the opening two Tests at Wembley and Hill Dickinson Stadium, England trail 2–0 in the series and have lost their chance to win the Ashes. The Headingley match will be a battle for national pride and to avoid a 3–0 whitewash on home soil.
Australia’s Approach
Contrary to earlier suggestions from head coach Kevin Walters, the Kangaroos have decided to field their strongest lineup for the final Test, aiming for a complete clean sweep.
Author's Summary
England’s final Ashes Test lineup includes Joe Burgess and Harry Newman as late additions amid efforts to avoid a 3–0 home series defeat to a full-strength Australian side.
