When is the next Ashes series? Dates, locations and venues
Your complete guide to the next Ashes series including when and where it will take place.
The England Test cricket team are raring to go ahead of The Ashes with renewed confidence, vigour and verve ahead of the summer series.
New coach Brendan McCullum and captain Ben Stokes have revitalised the team, breathing new life into their style and, whisper it quietly, instilling a rising degree of confidence among fans.
Former captain Joe Root enjoyed a ferocious slog last time out in New Zealand, Jonny Bairstow is back in the mix following an injury lay-off, and Harry Brook has struck four centuries in his opening 10 Test matches as part of a loaded batting line-up.
Added to the mix, bowling stalwarts Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson continue to torment batters in their Indian summer years, though the devastating Jofra Archer has unfortunately pulled out of proceedings due to an injury reccurance.
Of course, this isn't the end of the story. England are neither completely fixed nor favourites ahead of The Ashes, but they are refreshed, rejuvenated, galvanised and hungry to set the record straight on home soil.
