It got its name from a mock obituary in the Sporting Times in August 1882 after Australia defeated the English on their home soil for the first time. Now it has grown into the most historical cricket event; the Ashes. Ever since both the teams have visited each other after every two years to either take the cup or defend it. And on 16 June will start the 73rd Ashes in England.
Going into the Ashes on the back of a World Test Championship (WTC) final victory, the Aussies are on the top of the hosts with 34 Ashes to their name, while England is close behind with 32. While the guests from Down Under will be charged up after the big win on Sunday, after beating India by 209 runs to take the ICC Test mace and would like to carry the momentum to the Ashes, the hosts will have their eyes fixated on winning one more Ashes and catch up with Australia.
Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming series.
