The 2023 Ashes series will be the 73rd overall and the 37th in England.

In the previous Ashes series held in 2019, both teams won two matches each, and one match ended in a draw, resulting in a tied series. Therefore, Australia, having won the 2017 Ashes, is the defending champion. The first match of the 2023 Ashes series will take place from June 16th to 20th at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. The second test will be held at Lord’s in London. The third test will be played at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds from July 6th to 10th.

Pat Cummins will captain the Australian side in the Ashes 2023 series, while England has yet to announce its final squad and captain. However, Ben Stokes is likely to assume the captaincy for the English team under the coaching of Brendon McCullum. Australia holds the top position in the ICC Test team rankings, while England sits in third place. The rivalry between Australia and England in test cricket is among the oldest and has always provided great entertainment for cricket fans.
