This marks England's inaugural Test match at this stadium. It's daunting challenge, considering Australia boast an excellent record in Test matches here since the replacement of the renowned WACA. Stokes and McCullum will be eager to embark on a solid beginning in Perth, especially following England's sluggish start in the previous home Ashes series, which proved decisive.
