Australia vs England Tickets: Ashley Giles hopeful Ben Stokes will be ready to face Australia in Ashes opener

Ben Stokes is expected to be fit for the first Ashes Test against Australia on December 8 in Brisbane, according to England managing director Ashley Giles.

After England’s first warm-up match against the England Lions was called off owing to weather, the Durham all-return rounder’s to action has been postponed. Giles said: “I’m hopeful, and I’d always like to be confident,” but “we have to treat Ben gently, as we would anyone else who hasn’t had a lot of cricket under their belt.”

If he’s ready to go, however, he’ll be a difficult man to hold back. On Tuesday, England will play the England Lions in a four-day intra-squad match in Brisbane. Giles commented, “Ben seems to be doing fine, and it’s nice to have him around.” I’m sure Joe (Root) will be delighted to have him back in the lineup.

We still need to maintain our composure with him. He hasn’t played much cricket recently, and the (lack of) preparation period isn’t ideal for anyone, particularly those who haven’t played much cricket previously. So we’ll just keep working on him and see where we’re at at the end of the four-day game.

Giles believes England’s squad is the best-prepared for an Ashes series he has ever seen

Despite the delays imposed by coronavirus restrictions and bad weather, Giles believes England’s squad is the best-prepared for an Ashes series he has ever seen. In their two previous Ashes travels to Australia, England was thrashed 4-0 in 2017/18 and 5-0 in 2013/14. When asked how well prepared England was, Giles, replied, “Certainly that I’ve been associated with in Australia, sure I do.”

We’ve given this series a lot of thought and planning, and not everything has gone as planned, but I suppose that’s to be expected. Corona various has, of course, given a whole other level to that, but we’ve had to go beyond it, and it’s the same for both sides; both sides have been in quarantine because of their participation in the T20 World Cup. So all we have to do now is make sure we’re more ready than the Australians on day one at The Gabba, and we all know how vital the first Test match is.
