Australia Vs England: The great Test rivals of all three forms of the game will meet again in cricket’s most favourite format in 2025 when England will tour Australia for a five-match series of the red ball format. The matches between Australia Vs England have been a most-watched contest over the years.
The last Ashes series, played in the longer version of the game was held in the United Kingdom where the home side England made a brilliant comeback after they were trailing by 0-2 in the five-match series of the red ball form of the game. The Aussies, the current holders of WTC won the first two Test matches and it looked like Cummins and Co would also end up winning that iconic Ashes Test Series as well.
But Stokes and co who didn’t live up to their fans’ expectations made a strong comeback and avoided the series defeat by the hands of the Aussies at home. The Ashes 2023 red ball series was levelled to 2-2 and one match ended as a drawn affair. Now Ben Stokes and his men will look for bigger success in the Aussies nation when they travel Down Under in the next year of 2025 for the five-match series of the Test format.
