Joe Root Backs England To End Ashes Drought In Australia

By AFP News October 09, 2025 • 07:57 AM View: 321

Joe Root insists England can end their 10-year long Ashes drought as they bid to finally "bring the urn home" from their tour to Australia later this year. England have not won the Ashes since 2015 and their last Test series triumph in Australia came back in 2010-11.

England were held to a 2-2 draw by Australia on home turf in the most recent series in 2023, while their last three trips Down Under have ended in 4-0, 4-0 and 5-0 thrashings.
