The much-awaited Ashes series between England and Australia is scheduled to begin on June 16 with the first Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. While England are coming off a dominant win over Ireland, Australia are also the World Test Champions who beat India in the WTC final.
Beginning on June 16 and concluding on June 20, this series will mark the commencement of the World Test Championship 2023-2025 cycle, culminating in the final at Lord’s in 2025. On the first day of the Ashes 2023 1st Test, England made the bold decision to declare on 393/8. The over from Lyon proved costly, conceding 20 runs, prompting Stokes to signal the declaration. In true Bazball fashion, England stopped their innings 7 runs short of 400, despite the potential for a higher score considering Root’s impressive batting form.
Joe Root showcased his brilliance with a superb century, his first against Australia since 2015, propelling England to 393-8 before the declaration. However, Australia held their ground and finished the day at 14-0, successfully surviving the four overs England had to bowl at them. This unconventional and aggressive approach, driven by skipper Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, didn’t yield immediate results for England.
