SaralnamaEngland's new Test vice-captain Harry Brook will face his biggest challenge in the upcoming Ashes series in Australia. The series starts on at Perth Stadium. Brook has scored 2820 runs in 30 Tests at an average of 57.55. He hopes England may have an advantage if Australian captain Pat Cummins misses the first Test due to a back injury. Brook respects Australia's world-class bowlers but believes Cummins' absence could help England. He recalls the intense India series earlier this year and looks forward to the Ashes challenge. Brook admits he has limited experience with Australian pitches and plans to stay focused on each ball. To prepare for the Ashes, players can practice batting on bouncy surfaces and facing fast bowling. (Updated 10 Oct 2025, 20:32 IST; source: link)
