Baz leaves Bethell a shot at an Ashes slot

|September 09, 2025
BRENDON McCULLUM has told new England star Jacob Bethell that the Ashes side is not set in stone.

England’s Test batting lineup of Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, right, and Jamie Smith has always looked guaranteed for November's first Ashes Test in Perth.
But McCullum has opened up the door for change — especially with Bethell, just 21, captaining the T20 side in Ireland this month.
