Ben Stokes is captaining England in an away Ashes series for the first time
England captain Ben Stokes has called on his team to "create history" by winning the Ashes in Australia.
Only five England teams have won an Ashes series in this country since World War II and just two of those successes have come in the past 40 years.
England have not taken a series here since 2010-11, which was also the last time they won a Test in Australia.
But Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum have breathed life into England's Test cricket since they took charge in 2022.
