Cricket is one of the oldest sports in the world, with a history spanning over 150 or more years. The very first official test was played back in 1877 between England and Australia, and that rivalry has grown stronger over the decades. Now these two teams will face each other once again in the upcoming Ashes 2025-26, which is all set to take place in Australia.
The last series, which took place in England, was levelled at 2-2. This coming Ashes 2025-26 will begin next year on November 21. It will have a boxing day test, a new year test, and the pink-ball test, which means these teams will give fans almost two months full of action.
It will be a five-match test series and will be important for both sides because this will be part of the next cycle of the World Test Championship in 2025-27. England are growing strength to strength under Ben Stokes, while Pat Cummins has made this Australian side a formidable side. In this article, we will talk about the details about the upcoming Australia vs England Ashes Trophy 2025-26.

Who will be the captain for England tour of Australia 2025-26 Ashes series?
Pat Cummins has always given his first preference to the longest format of the game. There is only one ICC event scheduled for 2025, which is the Champions Trophy 2025 in February and November. After that, there will be a WTC final. But then, there is no major tournament, so we will see Cummins leading Australia in this all-important Ashes 2025-26.
That is the same with England as well. Ben Stokes plays very few white-ball games for England, and the team is doing pretty well in tests under him. So, if there is no change or injury, we will see Stokes leading England in the Ashes 2025-26.
