Ashes 2021-22, Australia vs England: Full schedule, dates, time in IST, squads, telecast & live streaming info

Bengaluru, December 5: Cricket's longest-standing rivalry is set to resume when Australia battle England in the five-match Test series - The Ashes, scheduled to start from December 8 in Brisbane.

Since the Ashes originated in 1882, Australia have won 33 series of the 71 series, while England have won 32 with 6 series ending in a draw.

The Ashes will be played in the form of a five-day five-Test series with the side winning the series being crowned as the winner of the Ashes. In case the series ends in a draw, Australia will retain the urn.

In 2019, the two sides ended on level terms at 2-2 as England won the fifth and final Test to tie the series. However, Australia's whitewash of 4-0 at home in the 2017-18 edition meant that they would retain the urn in 2019 as the series ended in a tie.

The current holders of the Ashes, Australia, the hosts, will be led by new captain Pat Cummins, while England will be led by their red-ball skipper Joe Root.

In the 2021-22 series, while Gabba in Brisbane will host the opening Test, the next four matches will be played at Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. The second Test at the Adelaide Oval will be a day-night fixture.

Optus Stadium (WACA) was scheduled to host the fifth Test, but on December 6, Cricket Australia announced that the final Test will be relocated from Perth due to COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions.

On December 11, Hobart was confirmed as the venue for the fifth and final Test, which will be the second pink ball match in the series.
