Preview

The greatest rivals are set to lock horns with each other as the 2025-26 Ashes begins at the fast and fiery Optus Stadium in Perth. Australia will enter the series with a strong winning momentum and an unbeaten  15-Test Ashes streak on home soil, but player injuries like Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood could leave their pace attack thinner than usual. Led by Steve Smith, the squad has young debutants Jake Weatherald and Brendan Doggett, alongside in-form performers Labuschagne, Head, Green, Starc, and Bolan.
England, on the other side, would be led by Ben Stokes, who will be coming with renewed confidence after they had a 2-2 draw series against India earlier this year. Their squad lineup boasts players like Archer, Wood, Carse,  and Atkinson, who will strengthen the pace order and are ready for Perth’s bounce. Joe Root, Harry Brook,  and Ollie Pope will form the backbone of the batting order as Bazball debuts in Australia.
