Aussies Stick to Winning Formula: Unchanged Squad for Sydney Showdown Against England

Australia has named an unchanged 15-member squad for the final Ashes Test against England, which is scheduled to start on Sunday in Sydney. Captain Steve Smith and the team had their first training session on Thursday at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
