England have named their 16-man squad for November's Ashes tour of Australia, with captain Ben Stokes making the cut despite his ongoing recovery from a shoulder injury.
The skipper missed the final Test against India at The Oval in August but is expected to be fit for the series opener in Perth on 21 November.
Fast bowlers Mark Wood and Jofra Archer have also been selected as they work their way back from injury.
Wood underwent left knee surgery that kept him out of the summer Tests, whilst Archer returns to the Ashes fold after making his Test comeback this summer following a four-year absence.
