Jacks took six wickets on his Test debut in December 2022 but has not played for Ben Stokes' side since that tour of Pakistan
England have given a surprise recall to Will Jacks as the back-up spinner for the Ashes, with Harry Brook replacing Ollie Pope as vice-captain.
Jacks played his two Tests in 2022 and leapfrogs Rehan Ahmed, Liam Dawson and Jack Leach to provide cover for Shoaib Bashir.
Brook's elevation is significant in that it will once again ignite the debate over the security of Pope's place at number three.
Pope has been Ben Stokes' regular vice-captain, stepping up to lead England on five occasions, but Brook has impressed since being named white-ball captain at the beginning of the summer.
