Shastri Tells England To Make Early Inroads To Win Ashes

By IANS News November 07, 2025 • 13:58 PM View: 427

New Delhi: Former India cricketer and coach Ravi Shastri shared his advice for England to win the Ashes, suggesting that the Ben Stokes-led side needs to set the tone and get early wins in the series.

Notably, England haven’t won an Ashes series since 2015, with the 2019 and 2023 editions ending in a 2-2 draw. They haven’t secured a Test victory in Australia since 2011. They last won The Ashes in the 2015 series held in England, and their last Ashes victory in Australia was the 2010-11 series, which they won 3-1.
