The cricketing world is eagerly anticipating the 73rd edition of the Ashes, the oldest and most prestigious contest in Test cricket. On June 16, the historic Ashes 2023 test series will kick off at Edgbaston.
The Ashes 2023 will witness England and Australia locking horns in a thrilling battle for cricket supremacy. After an eight-year drought, England will host Australia in an exciting five-match Test series in an effort to win back the coveted trophy.
The highly anticipated Test matches will be contested at five renowned venues: Edgbaston, Lord’s, Headingley, Old Trafford, and The Oval. However, Trent Bridge, one of England’s traditional Test venues, will not be hosting any matches in this edition.
