The Ashes 2021/2022 Full Schedule. Venues, Dates, Timings.

The Ashes is an iconic battle of the giants in world cricket. Ashes 2021 Schedule has been announced. After an elite competition in Ashes 2019 which ended with the heroics of Ben Stokes, Ashes 2021 will begin on an amazing note. Ashes 2021 Schedule has been recently updated with the 5^th Ashes Test moving out of Perth and replacement is yet to be announced. The Ashes 2021 will also witness Pat Cummins taking up the captaincy duties for the Australian Cricket Team for the first time ever.  

While every effort was made the ensure the fifth Vodafone #Ashes Test match could be staged in Perth, it is unfortunately not possible to align the respective priorities of the WA Government, CA and WA Cricket.

We'll provide an update on the replacement venue in due course. pic.twitter.com/P8PqeMqcYB

Australia has appointed Pat Cummins as their skipper for the Ashes. The decision was taken as a result of Tim Paine stepping down from captaincy after unforeseen events. Pat Cummins has taken up the duties and is ready for the job.  

David Warner and Steve Smith will be under immense pressure since recent lackluster performances with the bat. However, they are the biggest threat to the opposition as well. The trio of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazelwood will be carrying the load of the bowling department.

Joe Root (Captain), Ben Stokes, James Anderson, Jonathan Bairstow, Dom Bess, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler, Zak Crawley, Haseeb Hameed, Dan Lawrence, Jack Leach, Dawid Malan, Craig Overton, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood
