In addition, the players participated in training sessions with the Australian national cricket team while the Ashes series was still in progress.

As a result of his time spent playing in the Indian Premier League with Lucknow Super Giants, the batter Ashton Turner from Western Australia is going to return to Durham to participate in the Vitality Blast for the third consecutive season. Turner is now playing for LSG in the Indian Premier League (IPL), even though he has not been summoned into the XI because of the strong international contingent that they have. Turner, who is 31 years old, has not played since knee surgery during the Big Bash League (BBL) terminated his Australian domestic season in December.
