The Ashes 2021-22: Pat Cummins-led Australia will take on Joe Root's England in the first Ashes Test match at The Gabba in Brisbane on Wednesday.
By not playing the series opener, the team management feels Anderson can be better prepared for the subsequent pink-ball Test in Adelaide.
England arrived in Australia as Azeem Rafiq detailed allegations of institutional racism he experienced at Yorkshire. Wicketkeeper Tim Paine then quit as Australia captain before taking a leave of absence after a sexting scandal surfaced.
Root addressed reporters before news broke that the fifth test of the series will now not go ahead in Perth because of concern over quarantine requirements.
The Perth Test was slated from January 14 and was dependent of West Australian government's decision on whether it would give exemptions for players and staff to avoid 14-day lengthy quarantine
Australia's new captain Cummins said that Head is set to be picked ahead of Usman Khawaja while Starc will bowl with the new ball.
Root's team has a bit more clarity as in a surprising move rivals Australia named their starting eleven two days ahead of the start of the first Test at the Gabba on Wednesday
Cricket Australia, which named fast bowler Pat Cummins as Paine's replacement on Friday, said Paine advised them he would be 'stepping away from cricket for a period of time'.
Former skipper Steve Smith returns from leadership wilderness to become the team's vice-captain.
Ricky Ponting earlier said that Paine's inclusion in the team would 'inevitably' be a distraction and the drama was 'not going to go away'.
Persistent rain and storms restricted play on Tuesday and ensured no action was possible on Wednesday or Thursday between England and the England Lions at Peter Burge Oval in Brisbane.
Smith has now emerged as one of the candidates for the captaincy role after Tim Paine stepped down from the role over the 'sexting' scandal.
Reports claimed a Cricket Tasmania employee was offended by 'Mr Paine's sexually explicit, unwelcome and unsolicited photograph of his genitals in addition to the graphic sexual comments'.
