Root backs England
The Mercury
|October 09, 2025
JOE Root insists England can end their 10-year long Ashes drought as they bid to finally “bring the urn home” from their tour to Australia later this year.
-
England have not won the Ashes since 2015 and their last Test series triumph in Australia came back in 2010-11.
England were held to a 2-2 draw by Australia on home turf in the most recent series in 2023, while their last three trips Down Under have ended in 4-0, 4-0 and 5-0 thrashings.
But despite their struggles in Australia, Root is convinced Ben Stokes’ side are set to shine against their arch rivals.
“It does feel like a long time and it’d be nice to put that right and bring the urn home. I just see it as a great opportunity for the group,” Root said.
