England's cricketers are heading Down Under to take on Australia in what could be an Ashes series for the ages.

Ben Stokes, Ollie Pope, Jofra Archer and Matty Potts from the 4CAST athlete roster have been included in the squad that's preparing for the first Test in Perth on November 21.

In this video we're turning the spotlight on Ollie's fellow top-order batters - opening pair Ben Duckett and Zac Crawley, plus the legendary Joe Root who comes in at No 4.

Watch all three of them take on the bowling in this footage from an England training session.
