England have a hell of a chance in Ashes, says former skipper Woakes

October 12, 2025

Gulf Today

Former England cricketer Chris Woakes discussed the team's chances of winning the upcoming Ashes series against arch-rivals Australia and said that Ben Stokes and his team 'have a hell of a chance' to claim the famous urn.

The Ashes will be played in Australia this time, and England, who haven't won the series on Australian soil since the 2010-II edition, will be hoping to turn the tables this winter.

Woakes, meanwhile, announced his international retirement, marking the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy against India as his career's last game. The 36-year-old sustained a major injury to his shoulder, which ruled him out of England's forthcoming tour.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live about England's prospects of winning the Ashes, Woakes said, "We have great depth and a great squad. The lads in the first XI, if they can stay fit and on the field we have a hell of a chance. Ashes cricket is played with more venom behind it but these players have played a lot of international cricket and enough to know what it's about.
