Australian great Mike Hussey could face his own country in the Ashes after saying Friday he was open to joining England as their Test batting coach.

Rather than simply revelling in Australia’s heavy defeat, several former England greats have been left lamenting the missed opportunity of last winter’s Ashes

The line-up features Miles, Warfaze, Different Touch, Lalon, Highway, Ashes and RERE. The concert will begin at 3pm and continue until 9pm, while entry gates will open at 1pm. Admission is free.

Australia coach Andrew McDonald says Ben Stokes has "a lot of good cricket left in him" and believes England's new Test coach should lure him out of international retirement for the Ashes.

After nearly ten years of anticipation, Bangladeshi band Ashes has released its new track “Feriwala”, the fourth song from its album “Bivrom”.

A scheduled concert by Ashes at Rabindra Sarobar in Dhanmondi has been cancelled due to safety and crowd management concerns, the band confirmed.

Popular rock band Ashes is preparing a major surprise for fans this Eid with the simultaneous release of two new albums — “Bibhrom” and “Danahin Pakhi”.

Despite a noticeable decline in concerts this winter due to security concerns and administrative restrictions, a special outdoor music event is set to take place in Dhaka with a humanitarian purpose.

The former England all-rounder spoke about Bangladesh cricket’s development gaps, the BPL’s reputation issues, the politics shaping the modern game, and more.

"I love the game of cricket but life outside cricket has been more important."

Stokes, who was a standout for England and intends to carry on as captain, acknowledged they were beaten by the better side.

The hosts ensure they would retain the Ashes urn until they next tour England in 2027.

It was his 12th Test century and first at the Sydney Cricket Ground, further cementing his reputation as one of the game’s most versatile and destructive batters.

England meekly surrendered the famous urn after just 11 days of play with back-to-back eight-wicket defeats in Perth and Brisbane and an 82-run loss at Adelaide.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan labelled the pitch "a joke".

Cricket Australia chief Todd Greenberg said Saturday that short Tests were bad for business as some of the biggest names in the game attacked the state of the Melbourne Cricket Ground pitch.

Legends had come and gone, spells had teased, but no Englishman had managed a five-wicket haul at the venue since 1998.

Steve Smith returns to action in the Boxing Day test against England as Australia opted to include four fast bowlers in their 12-man squad, with spinner Todd Murphy, who was brought into the fold to replace Nathan Lyon, not finding a spot.

Cricket Australia boss Todd Greenberg on Thursday called an error in the Snicko technology being used during the Ashes "not good enough" as England had a review reinstated over the row.

In a sombre start to the first major sporting event in Australia since Sunday's attack left 15 dead and dozens wounded, both sides bowed their heads at Adelaide Oval in tribute to the victims.
