Cricket's most legendary test series is nearly upon us and there's still time to grab yourself a ticket.

The ballot for Ashes tickets opened back in October but has sadly now closed. But, with just one week to go, eager cricket fans can rejoice in the fact that there are still hospitality tickets available.
This month, England will be facing Australia across five tests at the historic cricketing venues that hosted the series back in 2019 — Old Trafford, Lords, The Oval, Edgbaston and Headingley.
England will be looking to turn the tables and make a statement comeback after losing the 2021/22 Ashes series 4-0, with the final test ending in a draw. Meanwhile, Australia will be looking to press their advantage. Having won cricket's ultimate prize on Australian soil, they'll now aim to do so again in the UK.
There's over a hundred years of history on the line. So, here's our guide to getting tickets and seeing the action unfold live.

The Ashes 2023: what to expect from the series
With England not having won the prestigious trophy since 2015, Australia will once again enter the test series as favourites.
The last series saw England almost whitewashed, managing to scrape a draw in the fifth and final test to avoid a 5-0 drubbing at the hands of their fiercest cricketing rivals.
It will be Ben Stokes's first Ashes as England captain and England fans will surely be hoping that his leadership and the new coaching set-up can draw more out of stars like Joe Root and Jimmy Anderson.
