The fourth Ashes Test between England and Australia will commence on July 19 at Old Trafford. Notably, the host team will attempt to maintain relevance in order to win the 'Urn'.
After losing the first two Tests, the team led by Ben Stokes defeated Australia by three wickets at Headingley. With the series still undecided, the hosts will endeavour to secure a win in the upcoming fourth Test in order to tie the series and keep Australia on their toes. The Oval will host the fifth and final Test.
The legendary "Burnley Express," also known as James Anderson, replaces Ollie Robinson as the lone alteration to England's starting eleven for the fourth Test. Anderson brings a wealth of experience and talent to the team, making him a formidable threat to the Australian batting order. His return will unquestionably strengthen the home team and give their bowling attack the much-needed variety it requires.
With this squad announcement, England hopes to capitalise on their recent victory and maintain the momentum they acquired at Headingley. The addition of James Anderson, combined with the team's extant talent, demonstrates the resolve and confidence within the England camp.
