The much-awaited 2023 Ashes series between England and Australia will kick off on June 16. Two of the best teams in the world will re-ignite their century-old rivalry in what has been billed as one of the best Test series in recent times. The Baggy Greens come into the Ashes on the back of a commanding World Test Championship (WTC) final win over India at The Oval, London. The Three Lions, on the flip side, have played fearless cricket in the last couple of years and have redefined the way red-ball cricket is played. The two teams will cross swords in a five-match series, the first of which will be played at Edgbaston.
On paper, there is nothing to separate between the two teams. On the ground, it will come down to intent and executions under immense pressure will millions of people keeping a close track of the day-to-day proceedings. In the last Ashes series when England toured Australia, the Three Lions were humiliated by their bitter rivals. Under Joe Root's leadership, England lost the Ashes by an embarrassing margin of 4-0. This time, the Englishmen would look to bury the demons of last Ashes while the Baggy Green would look to rub salt on England's wounds.
