If there is a rivalry that intensifies in the history of cricket, it is none other than the Ashes. An event with a great history,  Ashes have been one of the most intense series in Test Cricket.

1. Ollie Robinson

Ollie Robinson has been one of the new additions to the England team. A medium-pace bowler, Robinson has been one of the exciting bowlers going around for England. Making his debut against New Zealand this year, Robinson has displayed wonderful bowling against the opposition.

Being also a capable lower-order batter, Robinson has notched up satisfactory runs along with a century in FC cricket. The Kent-born all-rounder has a tally of 311 wickets from 122 innings at a satisfactory economy rate of 2.95 and an average of twenty-one.

In the Pataudi Trophy against India, Robinson ended up being the highest wicket-taker with twenty-one scalps. A bowler who can bowl back of a length, Robinson should be a watch out for the Aussies.
