The Ashes 2023: Schedule, Live streaming, Timing and Venues
The much-anticipated Ashes has arrived! 2023 was set to be a monumental year for cricket, featuring three highly awaited tournaments and series. The World Test Championship (WTC) final certainly lived up to its expectations, with Australia emerging victorious against a below-par Indian team after an enthralling match that went down to the fifth day. Now, just ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, it’s time for the Ashes.
The Ashes embodies the fiercest rivalry, pitting the oldest opponents against each other and producing some of the finest moments in cricketing history. The 2023 edition of this five-match Test series is generating immense excitement due to the closely matched nature of the two teams.
Australia, the reigning world champions and currently the top-ranked team, are in exceptional form. On the other hand, England has experienced a remarkable transformation in the longest format of the game ever since Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum assumed leadership of the red-ball side at the beginning of the 2022 summer. England has won an impressive 11 out of their last 13 Tests, showcasing a positive approach and intent. Their formidable style of play has the potential to challenge the strong Australian team, who managed to retain the Ashes in the previous series with the outstanding performances of Steve Smith.
