Ashes Teams

The forthcoming series will witness some of the cricketing world’s finest talents take centre stage. Spearheaded by the extraordinary Pat Cummins, Australia’s bowling attack will aim to rattle the English batters. Accompanying Cummins will be the seasoned Steve Smith, an esteemed batsman known for his remarkable ability to compile big runs. The young and dynamic Marnus Labuschagne will also be a key figure in Australia’s quest for victory.

Seventeen months on from their latest winless tour of Australia, England will begin their quest to regain the Ashes for the first time since 2017. Under the stewardship of head coach Brendon McCullum, the hosts will plan to unleash their aggressive brand of cricket. Ben Stokes, England’s captain and one of the world’s top all-rounders, will lead the charge alongside prolific batter Joe Root and the hard-hitting Jonny Bairstow.
