Australia will be touring England for the first time since 2003, with all matches of the Ashes tour scheduled to be shown live on BBC.

The Test matches will take place on three consecutive Saturdays at various venues - Wembley, Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium, and Headingley.

The last meeting between the two nations took place in the 2017 World Cup final, where Australia emerged victorious with a 6-0 scoreline.

This tour comes after England missed the opportunity to face Australia in the World Cup semi-final in 2022, due to their failure to beat Samoa.

Since then, England has had some successes, including a 3-0 victory over Tonga in a home Test series and winning two Tests against Samoa in 2024.

This upcoming Ashes tour will be highly anticipated as it will see the two cricketing nations renew their rivalry on the field after a long gap.

According to the report, "World champions Australia will return to England this autumn for the first Ashes tour since 2003, with all matches shown live on the BBC." The fact that the matches will be broadcast live on a major platform like BBC will surely generate significant interest and viewership among cricket fans.

The tour schedule, with matches on three successive Saturdays at different iconic venues, adds to the excitement and provides fans with the opportunity to witness high-quality cricket action.

The rivalry between England and Australia in cricket is historical and intense, making their matches highly anticipated and competitive.

The upcoming Ashes tour will be an opportunity for both teams to showcase their talent and compete for victory.

With both teams having achieved success in recent matches, the series promises to be thrilling and closely contested.

Cricket fans can look forward to witnessing some exciting and memorable moments as England and Australia battle it out on the cricket field.
