// England's young stars Issy Wong and Emma Lamb have made some bold claims ahead of the Women's Ashes series, with Alyssa Healy warning the opposition not to underestimate her team, as Phoebe Litchfield prepares to make her Test debut. The England side has not won the series since 2013/2014, but that didn't stop the young stars from the host nation commenting on the inexperience of their highly fancied rivals. Healy took careful note of Wong and Lamb's claims with Australia picking a relatively inexperienced squad following the withdrawal of Meg Lanning and retirement of Rachael Haynes.

"I don't think we can hide from the fact we've come into this Ashes series and there is no Meg Lanning, no Rachael Haynes. We've lost a lot of experience…" "I'm completely confident with the troops we've got sitting in the change room, that what they're going to bring to this series is just as good as what we've ever done. "I'm hoping they're potentially taking us a little bit lightly because I think you do that at your own detriment. The group we've got in the change room are incredibly good at their job, and hopefully we can show them that." Where and when are the Women's Ashes?

Up until 2013, the Women's Ashes series followed a similar format to the men's competition where the title was solely decided upon by the results of the Test matches. Now, the Women's Ashes is a multi-format series that combines 20 over, 50 over, and Test cricket. The teams will compete in one Test, spanning over five-days rather than the traditionally recognised four, three T20I's and three one-day internationals (ODI). The team with the most points at the end of the series will be awarded the Ashes trophy, currently held by the Australian team. An ODI and a T20I win earns teams two points, with a draw receiving one and a loss zero, no result or an abandoned match will earn a single point for each team. For Test matches, four points are awarded to the winning team, with two points awarded if there is a draw. The Test will mark the first time a Duke's ball has been bowled in a Women's Ashes series, shifting from the traditionally used Kookaburra, which was previously used in Australia's Test against South Africa in December 2022. Australia and England's squads Australia will be competing without captain Meg Lanning who was ruled out of the series in May due to medical issues. Alyssa Healy will be leading the team in her absence with Tahlia McGrath being named vice-captain. Australian squad: Alyssa Healy (c)(wk), Tahlia McGrath (vc), Darcie Brown, Ashleigh Gardner, Kim Garth, Grace Harris, Jess Jonassen, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham.

History of the Women's Ashes Since 1934, the England and Australia women's cricket teams have competed against each other in a four-day Test series. The term 'the Women's Ashes' was not given to the series until 54 years after the first Test match in 1998. The first Women's Ashes series was played at Lords, Birmingham, ending in a draw after three-days of play. With the previous Test match in 1992 resulting in a 1-0 victory to Australia, the Ashes were retained, marking the beginning of biennial competition. Eighteen tests, T20I matches and ODIs have been played since the beginning of the Women's Ashes in 1998, with Australia retaining the urn six times. The series has been drawn three times, which has resulted in Australia being named the winners of the series. What are the odds for the Women's Ashes? At the time of publishing on Thursday June 22, Sportsbet had listed Australia at $1.58 favourites to win the series. England was listed as a $4.60 chance to win the series, with the odds for the draw standing at $4.60. Who won the last Women's Ashes series? Australia have won the past two Ashes series outright, with series prior to 2011 determined by the winner of the Test matches. When the two teams met in January 2022, Australia were victorious defeating England 12-4, with all of England's points awarded due to two washed out T20I's and a drawn Test. How can Australia keep the Women's Ashes? If the Women's Ashes series was to be abandoned due to weather conditions, the urn would return to Australian soil due to the last victory in 2022. England has not won the Women's Ashes series since 2013 with their victory on Australian soil. The Australian Women's team has only lost once on English soil, and is hoping to continue its dominance throughout the 2023 series. England must finish with more points than Australia to wrestle the Ashes away.
