The Ashes 2025-26 will kick-off on Friday with Australia hosting England in the first Test in Perth. Here's complete details about live telecast of Ashes series in India.
One of the most iconic rivalries in cricket, the Ashes 2025-26 is set to kick off on Friday in Perth when Australia host England in the first Test. The first Test starts on 7:50 AM IST. The hosts have won 14 out of the last 18 games since the drawn Ashes series in 2-23 in England. At home, Australia are unbeaten in last six Test series.
However, Australia will be missing the services of captain Pat Cummins (back injury) and fast bowler Josh Hazlewood (hamstring injury). The home team have announced two debutants in Jake Weatherald (will open the batting with Usman Khawaja) and pacer Brendan Doggett. In fact. Dogget is the first pacer to win a Australian Test cap in four years.
On the other hand, Jofra Archer is set to return to Ashes after a long time. The right-arm pacer will accompany Mark Wood for England only for the second time in Test cricket. Steve Smith is leading Australia in the absence of injured Cummins.
