LONDON, Sept 23 (AFP): Ben Stokes was named as England captain for the Ashes tour as the squad was announced on Tuesday for five Tests in Australia.
All-rounder Stokes missed the final Test against India at the Oval, which started on July 31, with a shoulder injury.
But England chiefs said he "remains on track to be available for the start of the Test series" against arch rivals Australia, which starts in November.
