Correct answer
Explanation
The Ashes is the prestigious Test cricket series played between Australia and England, one of the oldest rivalries in international cricket dating back to 1882. The name comes from a mock obituary that said English cricket had died and "the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia" after Australia's first Test win on English soil.
