Expect plenty of support for England's Barmy Army
England fans are ready to back the team's Ashes tilt in Australia, with more than 50,000 tickets already snapped up by eager travelling supporters. COVID-19 restrictions meant limited support on the last tour of Australia in 2021/22 but, with no such barriers in their way this time, there is set to be a major England presence at the five-match series. Cricket Australia sold a massive 311,066 tickets on the first day of their international pre-sale - a record one-day tally - and reported almost one in six of those were purchased from the United Kingdom. Joel Morrison, CA's general manager of events and operations, said: "We have never seen anything like this in Australian cricket history. "A huge thank you to fans for their incredible passion for the game. Their overwhelming response to this pre-sale reaffirms international cricket's standing as a leading live sporting experience. "With demand at record levels, we encourage fans to secure their tickets early so they don't miss out on summer's biggest event." England - led by allrounder Ben Stokes - and Australia, with Pat Cummins at the helm, will battle for the five-Test Ashes series beginning on November 21 in Perth and ending on January 8 in Sydney.
