England will seek to end their decade of hurt Down Under when they face Australia for the 2025 Women’s Ashes series.
Both teams produced enthralling and memorable performances in 2023 in England, where Australia came away victorious despite the series ending in an 8-8 draw on points.
Australia have not suffered defeat in an Ashes series since 2014, and England have only managed two series wins in seven attempts since the competition switched to a points system in 2013.
