‘Not difficult’: Wane explains omission of Jake Connor from England Ashes squad

Shaun Wane, the England head coach, has explained the decision to exclude Jake Connor, the 2025 Man of Steel, from the England Ashes squad. Wane stated that the decision was "not really difficult" and that he does not understand the obsession surrounding Connor's omission. The 24-man squad includes a return for Hull KR's Joe Burgess, who has been out of the national side for a decade, after his two-try performance in the Super League Grand Final. The first Test against Australia is scheduled for 25 October at Wembley, with further Tests at Everton and Headingley to follow on successive Saturdays.
