Ethan Strange likely misses 2025 Ashes selection due to competition from established players.
After being considered a bolter for the 2025 Ashes Series against England, Canberra Raiders youngster Ethan Strange is set to miss out on being selected in Australia's 22-man squad.
Only in the third season of his NRL career, Strange has had a remarkable 12 months, which has seen him slowly transform into a star for the Raiders and helped propel them to the Minor Premiership after forming a formidable partnership in the halves with Jamal Fogarty.
However, while coach Kevin Walters confirmed that he was a chance to make the squad, he is now set to miss out on attending the 2025 Ashes Series, per Brent Read on Triple M Breakfast with Beau, Cat and Woodsy.
The rumoured decision comes as Cameron Munster, Mitchell Moses, Nathan Cleary and Tom Dearden remain ahead of him in the pecking order, with at least three being selected in the 22-man squad.
