England will come face to face against Australia in the first of the five-matches much-awaited historic Ashes series today at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
This exhilarating contest between the two cricketing rivals will also mark the beginning of the two-year-long third cycle of the ICC World Test Championship.
Under the guidance of head coach, Brendon McCullum, and the leadership of Ben Stokes, the English team has undergone a transformation in their approach to Test cricket.
Since last summer, the Ben Stokes-led side has embraced an aggressive and attacking Bazball-style cricket and is expected to showcase a similar kind of cricket in the series.
On the other hand, Australia enters the Ashes series as the reigning champions of the World Test Championship, having secured a historic win over India in the final at The Oval.
With a strong batting lineup, a formidable pace attack, and impressive bench strength, Australia is determined to maintain its winning momentum on English soil.
