THE ASHES is underway as England look to win back the urn after having not won the tournament since 2015.
Ben Stokes will captain his nation as they look to win their first Ashes in ten years.
It would be the first Ashes won in Australia by the Barmy Army in 15 years- their last victory on enemy soil coming in the 2010/11 campaign.
England hosted the last tournament in 2023, but couldn’t capitalise on the home advantage as the two nations settled for a 2-2 draw.
There’s plenty of cricket to be played in The Ashes, but who will be commentating on the action?
Who are The Ashes 2025 commentators on TNT Sports?
Alastair Eykyn and Rob Hatch are the two main ‘play-by-play’ commentators for The Ashes, as they will be reporting on the action remotely from England.
Both of whom are better recognised for their commentary work on rugby and cycling but have the responsibility of guiding viewers through The Ashes this winter.
Three squad members from the last team to beat Australia on enemy territory 15 years ago will feature as co-commentators.
Among these names are Sir Alastair Cook, Graeme Swann and Steven Finn.
Other supporting commentators include the first black woman to play for England, Ebony Rainford-Brent, and former manager of Australia’s national team, Justin Langer.
