The Ashes is set to commence next week and England and Australia will once again battle for the famous Urn across five hotly contested test matches.
It's been some time since England claimed Ashes glory in the match up with 2015 being the last time they beat their rivals, however Ben Stokes' side have been in good form of late and there is a feeling they could give the Australians a stern test this summer.
Stokes and coach, Brendon McCullum have now honed their squad after the news Moeen Ali has come out of Test retirement and will feature in the squad following the big blow of the injury to spinner Jack Leach. Leach was in good form following his haul of wickets against Ireland last week so the news will have caused a major headache for McCullum and Stokes.
Aussie batter Steve Smith has talked about the shock injury to Leach and claimed England now have "big shoes to fill", however the England hierarchy will now be convinced they've found the right man in the returning Ali.
