When is next Ashes series, and what was the result when England toured Australia in the last event?

ENGLAND are hoping to hit back against Australia following a chastening Ashes defeat in 2021-22.

There was high optimism before a ball was bowled last time out that the touring side would have enough in the locker to give the Aussies a real battle Down Under.

And that was only strengthened by the news that Australia would be without captain Tim Paine who stepped down following a sexting scandal.

England were however outplayed almost every day of the tour, with Australia repeatedly tearing through their fragile batting lineup.

The hosts triumphed 4-0 in the five-match series, with England holding onto draw the fourth Test.

Joe Root’s time as captain came to an end after Ben Stokes was appointed as his successor in April 2022.
