Jake Weatherald throws in name for Australia's Ashes opening spot
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|July 25, 2025
Ahead of the crucial Ashes series against England at home, Australia found another candidate for the crucial opening slot alongside veteran Usman Khawaja, with Jake Weatherald knocking on the door for national selection with consistent performances in domestic cricket.
Weatherald topped the run charts in last year's Sheffield Shield with 905 runs at an average of 50.33, including three centuries. He carried that form into the Sri Lanka 'A' series, notching up scores of 54 and a commanding 183 in the two matches.
With a mountain of runs piled up in domestic cricket since his debut in 2016, Weatherald's consistency puts him in a promising spot to earn a maiden Baggy Green. The 30-year-old has scored 5021 runs in 73 first-class matches at an average of 37.47, and will have his name in the hat for a senior call-up ahead of the Ashes later this year.
