The biggest rivalry in Test cricket will be on display at the Ashes in 2023. Beginning on June 16, Friday, are the England vs. Australia test matches. The Ashes, the oldest rivalry in cricket, is important to both countries.
The two nations’ test series in 2019 ended in a 2-2 draw, giving the cricket world one of the most lavish viewing experiences. Ben Stokes’ heroics at Headingley and Steve Smith’s total of 774 runs in seven innings helped it become well-known. The Ashes were played in Australia in 2021–2022.
They defeated England 4-0, but it was an lopsided victory. In the Ashes 2023, England will attempt to reclaim the urn under the leadership of captain Ben Stokes and the direction of head coach Brendon McCullum. Australia and England will square off in the first game of the eagerly awaited tournament in Edgbaston.
