England star Kate Cross unavailable for One-Off Ashes Test

In a big blow ahead of their One-Off Test against Australia, England will be without the services of their fast bowler Kate Cross, who has failed to recover from a back injury that also forced her to sit out of the ODI leg of the ongoing Ashes.
Australia, meanwhile, are expected to be bolstered by the returns of captain Alyssa Healy and all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner. Healy while speaking to media confirmed that she is fit. But, she didn’t confirm about her inclusion into the playing XI. Australia, meanwhile, are looking forward to completing the series whitewash, having beaten the visitors in the T20Is and ODIs.
"I'm good to go. The final XI hasn't quite been decided upon just yet, but I'm standing here in front of you without a moon boot, saying I'm ready to go," Healy said.
Australia Test squad: Alyssa Healy (c), Darcie Brown, Ashleigh Gardner, Kim Garth, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Tahlia McGrath (vc), Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Voll, Georgia Wareham
England Test squad: Heather Knight (c), Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Kate Cross, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Bess Heath, Amy Jones, Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Danni Wyatt-Hodge
