Will Jacks played two Tests in Pakistan in 2022
Will Jacks will play his first Test in three years after England included a spin option for the second Ashes Test against Australia in Brisbane.
The off-spinner takes the place of injured pace bowler Mark Wood in the only change from the side beaten heavily in the first Test in Perth.
The 27-year-old is selected ahead of Shoaib Bashir for the day-night match at the Gabba partly because his batting ability offers England more depth at number eight.
Jacks was a left-field inclusion in England's Ashes squad and gets the opportunity to win a third Test cap despite focusing heavily on white-ball cricket in recent years.
