The cricketing world is gearing up for the Ashes series later this month as the Kangaroos will aim to retain the urn while hosts England will look to avenge their 4-0 loss in the 2021-22 season. England are also charged up by the `Bazball` revolution brought by skipper Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum, which has seen England win 11 of their last 13 Tests and dominate their opponents with an attacking, aggressive and positive cricket that aims for victory. In that vein, we look at three key factors that are expected to set the tone and change the complexion of the highly anticipated Test series.
Broad vs Warner
As two of the most outspoken and combative players in recent Ashes history, England pace bowler Stuart Broad and Australia opener David Warner will be at the centre of the drama. Broad taunted Australia in the build-up to the series by saying he regarded England`s 4-0 defeat "Down Under" in 2021/22 as a `void series` because of the strict coronavirus restrictions in place for his team.
