The most anticipated Ashes series will start on November 21.
Former Australia opener David Warner has dismissed claims that the aggressive “Bazball” style of play by England will give them an edge in The Ashes 2025.
Speaking to the media, David Warner was asked which team’s style would dominate the Ashes. He backed Australia, saying they are focused on winning the Ashes, while suggesting England are mostly playing for a moral victory.
“The Australian way because we’re playing for the Ashes and they’re playing for a moral victory. There’s your headline,” Warner said.
Furthermore, he has shared his prediction for the Ashes, saying he expects Australia to win 4-0. He added that there might be one match washed out, likely in Sydney. Warner believes the result will largely depend on captain Pat Cummins.
“4-nil. It’s going to be a great series. All dependant on the captain (Pat Cummins). If the captain doesn’t play, they might win one game. If Cummo’s there, 4-nil. If not, they probably win one game only.” he added.
The most anticipated Ashes series will start on November 21, with the first Test taking place at Optus Stadium in Perth.

This sets up an exciting battle between Australia’s unsettled batting line-up and England’s bowling attack, which will miss the experience of James Anderson and Stuart Broad.
