Australia vs England 4th Ashes Test Live Streaming Details: Ahead of the Boxing Day Test — the fourth in the five-match series — England lost each of the first three to allow Australia to retain the Ashes in just 11 days of on-field action.
Australia have chosen not to replace injured spinner Nathan Lyon with another primary slow bowler for the fourth Ashes Test against England. Instead, they have opted for a pace-heavy 12-man squad. Lyon sustained a long-term hamstring injury during the Ashes-clinching win in Adelaide and later underwent surgery, leading selectors to call up off-spinner Todd Murphy as cover. However, with the MCG pitch showing a significant grass covering, Murphy was omitted when Australia announced their squad on Thursday.
In addition to Lyon, captain Pat Cummins and wicketkeeper Josh Inglis are also unavailable. Fast bowlers Jhye Richardson, Brendan Doggett, and Michael Neser have been included, with Richardson eyeing his first Test appearance in over four years following injuries. Veteran Usman Khawaja was preferred over Inglis after scoring 82 and 40 in Adelaide.
Meanwhile, England have already named their XI, with Jofra Archer ruled out for the remainder of the series due to injury. Gus Atkinson will replace Archer as Ollie Pope has been dropped in favour of Jacob Bethell.
