Ashes is the biennial test cricket series played between Australia and England. The term originated in a satirical obituary published in a British newspaper called The Sporting Times after Australia won its first Test match on English soil in 1882. The obituary stated that English cricket had died, and "the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia".

The word ‘ashes' again appeared during the 1882-83 test series between the two nations played in Australia. The English captain at the time, Ivo Bligh, gave a statement saying England's cricket team will “regain those ashes”. Subsequently, the series was dubbed “quest to regain the Ashes” by the media. England won the series and ‘The Ashes' was born.

The first Test match between England and Australia will begin tomorrow, June 16 at 3:30 PM IST. The match will continue between June 16 - June 20. The game will be played at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground
