Root's Ashes Quest: Can England Conquer Australia After a Decade?

Root’s Ashes Quest: Can England Conquer Australia After a Decade?

England’s upcoming five-match Ashes series against Australia, commencing on March 31, 2025, holds immense significance for both teams’ ICC World Test Championship aspirations. The series is a crucial battle for points in the WTC campaign.

The Three Lions, coming off a 2-2 draw against a rejuvenated Indian side under Shubman Gill, are hungry for victory. Their last Ashes triumph on Australian soil was in 2011, with their most recent series win in 2015, a 3-2 victory at home.

Joe Root’s form will be pivotal. Since 2021, he’s amassed 22 centuries. However, a triple-century in Australia remains elusive – a feat crucial for England’s chances.

This Ashes series carries immense weight, not only for the championship standings but also for the future of English Test cricket. A strong performance in Australia would significantly bolster their confidence and position heading into the next cycle of the WTC.
