One of cricket’s most enduring and intense rivalries returns as Australia and England collide for the Ashes 2025. This prestigious five-Test series, hosted in Australia, will run from November 21, 2025, to January 8, 2026.
The home side, Australia, enters the contest as the defenders of the urn, led by a settled core. With batsmen Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne in rich batting form, the team looks formidable. However, they face an early challenge as pacer Pat Cummins has been sidelined for the opener, resulting in Smith stepping up as skipper.
