Ashes 2023 Telecast Channel: Where to watch and live streaming details in India
The Ashes 2023 is all set to get underway. The legendary Australia-England rivalry will resume with the first Test, which will be played at the Edgbaston in Birmingham from Friday, June 16. The five-match series will conclude with the final Test at the Kennington Oval in London from July 27 to July 31.
Australia will go into the series on a high, having recently defeated India by 209 runs in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at The Oval. Putting in a clinical performance, the Aussies scored 469 in their first innings after being asked to bat first as Travis Head and Steve Smith scored contrasting centuries. Their bowlers also shone, restricting India to 296 and 234.
Australia might go into Ashes 2023 with a slight advantage, but Ben Stokes has made it clear that England will not deviate from their ‘Bazball’ philosophy. England have won 11 of 13 Tests under the Stokes-Brendon McCullum captain-coach combine. Whether their ultra-aggressive antics work against Australia remains to be seen.
