flag Australian fast bowler Scott Boland targets Joe Root to disrupt England’s middle order in the Ashes opener.

flag Australian fast bowler Scott Boland has declared Joe Root a top target ahead of the Ashes series opener in Perth, citing Root’s consistent form despite no Test century in Australia. flag Boland, who has dismissed Root four times previously, emphasized the need to contain England’s middle order, especially with captain Pat Cummins sidelined. flag With injuries to Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, Boland will lead Australia’s pace attack alongside Mitchell Starc and uncapped 31-year-old Brendan Doggett, who brings strong first-class experience. flag Boland believes the team’s strategy to limit key batters, particularly Root, will be crucial on Perth’s large grounds, where power-hitting is challenging. flag The series begins November 21.
