Sensational The Ashes series England’s cricketers have become household names after 2015 and Ben Duckett, Zac Crowley, Harry Brook and Ben Stokes are likely to be available for the team again in two-and-a-half years’ time (in 2025-26) when the two teams are back in Test cricket. It will be face to face.
The last Ashes Test was memorable in many ways but especially for Stewart Broad who bids farewell after eighteen years playing professionally.
James Anderson has vowed to continue playing but will not play for the next Ashes series in Australia in the winter of 2025-26. England How many baseball players are likely to play?
Zach Crowley – Given that he averages 43.06 against Australia, has played eight matches and is supported by Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes, Crowley is likely to open for England for a long time.
Ben Duckett – Since returning to the team ahead of the Pakistan tour, Duckett has impressed with his performances alongside Crowley. Known for not dropping many balls, he can make this place his permanent home at the age of 28.
Ollie Pope – Pope averages just 15.70 in five matches against Australia, but as vice-captain he is seen as the future of the team.
Joe Root – Although Root will be 34 at the start of the next Ashes, his place and importance in the team makes it difficult to imagine an England batting line-up without him.
Harry Brooke – He benefited from Jonny Bairstow’s injury and cemented his place to the extent that England had to find a way to keep both of them in the team. Brooke could be the future of England cricket in all formats.
Ben Stokes – His left knee has been a concern for years and doesn’t seem to be improving, but he is largely credited for his success in baseball. Everyone will hope that their body will continue to support them.
Jonny Bairstow – An interesting question, as Bairstow will be 36 by the time of the next Ashes and is likely to be receiving franchise offers from around the world, but he himself has always expressed his love for Test cricket.
Chris Woakes – Has been the best player of the series this time and is likely to play a major role in the future but historically he has always excelled on England pitches but struggled outside the country. are
Moin Ali – Moeen had already retired from Red Ball cricket once when he returned to Stokes’ call after Jack Leach was injured. But he is adamant that this Ashes was his last.
Stuart Broad – Stuart loves the Ashes but is past the time of his career, and while he may be a potential presence in Australia, that presence is more likely in the commentary box than on the field.
This section contains related reference points (Related Nodes field).
James Anderson – Although he has already completed an incredibly long career. Still playing Test cricket at the age of 41, but it seems difficult for him to play at the top level at 43.
Mark Wood – England will need a fast bowler in Australia and Mark could be the most likely option but as always with any fast bowler there will be questions about whether he can stay fit until then. Can their body support them or not?
Ollie Robinson – Robinson has a minor back problem, but at 29 he is the youngest bowler in the seam attack and will likely still play an important role.
Josh Tong – Stokes’ statement that there are ‘like for like’ replacements for Tongwood was a bit too kind, but he has impressed in his two Test matches and his future could be bright.
Jake Leach – Jack did not miss a single-ball Test before the start of the Ashes due to his stress fracture and is likely to return, especially given Stokes’ loyalty to the players.
Gus Atkinson – The Surrey seamer has already caught the attention of many for his skill with the ball and pace and is seen as a future England international. He will be at his peak in 2025 at the age of 25.
James Reeve – He has taken the county game by storm since his debut and is currently the top run-scorer in the County Championship. He is definitely a good player with the glove and bat for the future.

**Interview with Cricket Expert on the Future of England’s Team for the 2025/26 Ashes**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today. As we look ahead to the 2025/26 Ashes series, what is your take on the significant players expected to feature in the England lineup?
**Expert:** It’s a pleasure to be here. The upcoming Ashes is certainly generating a lot of excitement, especially with players like Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, and Harry Brook firmly establishing themselves in the team. Ben Stokes, despite ongoing concerns about his fitness, remains a pivotal figure, and it’ll be interesting to see how he performs.
**Interviewer:** Speaking of Zak Crawley, he has a solid average against Australia. Do you think he’ll be a key player for England?
**Expert:** Absolutely! Crawley’s average of 43.06 against Australia is impressive, and with the backing of Brendon McCullum and Stokes, he is likely to be a central figure at the top of the order for the next few years.
**Interviewer:** And what about Joe Root? He’ll be 34 by the next series—does his experience still make him indispensable?
**Expert:** Without a doubt. Despite his age, Root’s skills and experience are invaluable to the team. It’s hard to envision an England batting lineup without him, given his track record and leadership qualities.
**Interviewer:** Harry Brook seems to have cemented his place following Bairstow’s injury, hasn’t he?
**Expert:** Yes, Brook has certainly made a case for his inclusion. He has shown great versatility and is seen as a potential future star for England across all formats. His ability to adapt will be crucial moving forward.
**Interviewer:** With the retirements of senior players like Stuart Broad and potentially James Anderson, how do you see the bowling lineup shaping up?
**Expert:** It’s going to be a transition phase for England’s bowling attack. While Broad will likely move on to commentary, Anderson’s long career has been incredible, but at 41, it’s tough to predict how effective he’ll be at 43. New faces, like Mark Wood, will be key in adapting to conditions in Australia.
**Interviewer:** What about Jonny Bairstow? His age may affect his performance in 2025.
**Expert:** It’s a complex situation for Bairstow. While he will be 36, he’s consistently expressed his passion for Test cricket. However, with the lure of franchises around the world, his commitment to the format will be put to the test.
**Interviewer:** How do you foresee the overall landscape of the England team nearing the Ashes?
**Expert:** The landscape is dynamic, with a mix of established stars and emerging talents. The management will need to balance experience and youth to stay competitive, especially in the challenging Australian conditions. It’s certainly going to be an intriguing series!
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights! It sounds like the build-up to the 2025/26 Ashes will be just as thrilling as the series itself.
**Expert:** Absolutely! Exciting times ahead for English cricket. Thank you for having me!
