The Ashes 2025–26 series is one of cricket's most prestigious and historic Test series. It features two traditional rivals, Australia and England. The series is named "The Ashes" after a newspaper obituary following England's defeat in 1882, which stated that "English cricket is dead and its ashes will be carried to Australia." The series is known by this name, and the winning team is presented with a small Ashes urn.

England's team is focused on a "buzzball" strategy, which emphasizes playing aggressive and fast-paced cricket. Led by Ben Stokes, England hopes to capitalize on Australia's fast pitches with their aggressive batting. The team includes key batsmen like Joe Root, Harry Brooke, and Ollie Pope. The return of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood has further strengthened the team's fast bowling.

Australia will be in a strong position at home. Their team boasts experienced batsmen like Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, and David Warner. Australia's fast bowling attack also boasts Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc. These bowlers will pose a tough challenge to England's batsmen with their fast and bouncy deliveries.

Significance of the series:

This series isn't just about winning or losing, but rather a battle for prestige and supremacy for both countries. Australia has dominated the Ashes, especially at home, for the past few decades. However, England's new "Bazzball" strategy has upended the traditional approach to Test cricket, making this series expected to be extremely exciting.
