The Australian Kangaroos are headed back to England for the 2025 Ashes series!
Yes, it’s not quite, an official Kangaroo Tour, but it’s better than nothing.
We haven’t seen an official Kangaroo Tour since 1994 and while the Aussies have been back to the United Kingdom several times, this is the closest we’ve had in a long time.
In the old days, the Australians would pick a 28-man squad.
So, what if we picked a 28-man squad of the greatest players of all time?
Here it is…
Goodluck!
*Your writer has selected the squad, not only on talent, but as a Kangaroo selector, comparing talent and ability to cover several positions on an old-school, very long tour.
