On November 21, England’s quest to regain The Ashes will begin on a bouncy Perth pitch as the Three Lions aim to win the prize asset in Test cricket away from home for the first time in 15 years. Although, it will be far from an easy task as the tourists have not won a Test on Austrian soil since 2011. But ageing Australia team, especially at the time when the Kangaroos have so many injuries might do the trick for Ben Stokes’ England to take the coveted Ashes home.
