Kangaroos coach Kevin Walters announces 24-man squad, including seven debutants for Ashes tour.
Australian Kangaroos head coach Kevin Walters has confirmed his 24-man squad for the Ashes tour of England.
Seven debutants have been made to make the trip halfway around the world for the first bi-lateral series against England in more than two decades, with the finals series playing a heavy role.
The squad, which was originally set to be 22, was expanded to 24 with the Kangaroos including Ethan Strange and extra depth options in the squad after his barnstorming season with the Canberra Raiders.
Walters, who admitted he will have selection headaches without a warm-up game, also admitted the squad was hard to pick.
