Glenn McGrath’s Prediction on Ashes 2025/26:
During a recent interview, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Australian legend Glenn McGrath said, “It’s very rare to make a prediction, isn't it? And I can’t make a different one 5-0. So we will wait and see closer to the time. I am very confident in our team. When you have got Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon firing in their home conditions, it’s going to be pretty tough. Plus, that track record England have had, it’s interesting to see if they can win a Test.” The Australian legend is super confident about the Aussie cricket team.
The former Australian cricketer’s statement will surely boost the confidence of the Australian cricket Team. Australia has won 34 Ashes series compared to England’s 32, with 7 draws.
England last lifted the Ashes trophy in 2015 under the captaincy of Alastair Cook. Since then, they have never won the Ashes.
The upcoming series will also mark Australia’s first home series in the 2025-27 World Test Championship Cycle. With a strong fast bowling and spin bowling attack, Australia will be the team to watch out for in the Ashes series.
