Stuart Broad claims England's 2021-22 hammering in Australia was not a "real Ashes"

Stuart Broad has resumed his war of words with Australia by writing off the last Ashes series as "void" due to Covid.

England were thumped 4-0 in Australia during their 2021-22 Ashes tour, with Joe Root's side avoiding a clean sweep thanks to a last-wicket stand between Broad and James Anderson in Sydney to salvage a draw. Root relinquished the captaincy three months later.

England are a completely different side now, winning 10 of their last 12 Tests under new skipper Ben Stokes. That has renewed confidence in the England camp, with fans hoping they can end their eight-year wait for an Ashes series victory this summer.
