(Ashes boxing day test 2017 at the MCG)

The Ashes cricket series is one of the oldest and most prestigious international cricket

 contests between two great cricketing  nations,England and Australia. 

The Test match series between these nations is held approximately every two years, and is one of sport's great rivalries.The series dates back to 1882 when Australia won its first-ever Test match on English soil. Since then, the Ashes has become a fiercely competitive and highly anticipated series, played biennially, alternately in England and Australia. The series consists of  five Test matches, and the winner of the series is awarded the Ashes urn.The term “The Ashes” came from a satirical obituary published in The Sporting Times, a British newspaper, right after Australia won the 1882 game at The Oval. It was Australia's first Test win on English soil. In the obituary, it said that English cricket had died and the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia. These mythical ashes then became connected with the1882-1883 series that was played in Australia, before which the English captain Ivo Bligh had promised to “regain those ashes”English media then dubbed the tour the quest to regain the Ashes.

Cup in 2019, and culminated with a  final in June 2021. Nine of the 12 Test-approved


countries (Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Ireland will be excluded initially) were planned


play three home and three away Test match series over the two years that


count  towards the championship.
