Josh Tongue retained as England name Ashes squad after recent injury setbacks
Josh Tongue has retained his place for the Ashes after an impressive debut against Ireland at Lord’s with the rest of the England squad unchanged for the pinnacle event of the summer.
Chris Woakes, who was initially left out in place of Tongue for the Ireland Test, is in contention after England named their full squad.
Zak Crawley, who has been under criticism for his performances at the top of the order, and scored 56 against Ireland, looks set to continue in that position for the first two Tests.
