Beau Webster left out, two debutants named in Australia's playing XI for first Ashes Test

Australia have named their playing XI for the first Ashes Test against England in Perth, featuring two debutants in the form of opener Jake Weatherald and pacer Brendan Doggett. Doggett has been impressive for South Australia in Shield, while Weatherald has finally got his shot after knocking the door down, scoring heaps of runs for Tasmania in domestic cricket for the last couple of seasons. Steve Smith will lead the side in Pat Cummins' absence, while the regular No 3 Marnus Labuschagne also returns to the side after missing the West Indies series.
