England, led by captain Ben Stokes, will be determined to reclaim the Ashes after their defeat in the previous series in Australia. With a talented squad at their disposal, England will rely on the ‘Bazball’ approach and will expect experience players like Joe Root, Stokes and James Anderson to guide them to victory.
On the other hand, Pat Cummins and Co. will be looking to continue their dominance over England. Having retained the Ashes in 2019 and emerged victorious in the 2021/22 series, the Australians will be brimming with confidence. The team will also be buoyed by their recent success in winning the World Test Championship (WTC) final 2023 against India. With a formidable pace attack featuring the likes of Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland and Josh Hazlewood, as well as a strong batting lineup led by Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and David Warner Australia poses a significant challenge to the English team.
