About The Ashes

The Ashes is the most famous bilateral series in cricket, played between England and Australia since 1882. The series consists of five Test matches, with each edition alternating between England and Australia. The name derives from a satirical obituary published after England's first home defeat to Australia, mourning the death of English cricket and suggesting the ashes would be taken to Australia. Today the series captivates hundreds of millions of viewers across the cricket world. In Australia, Foxtel and Kayo Sports hold rights; in England, Sky Sports has exclusive coverage; and in India, Disney+ Hotstar (JioHotstar) streams the series.
