The term ' Ashes ' is related with which sport?

The Ashes is a prestigious Test cricket series played biennially between England and Australia. The term originated from a satirical obituary published in 1882 after Australia defeated England, stating that English cricket had died and 'the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia.' A small terracotta urn, believed to contain the ashes of a cricket ball or veil, serves as the symbolic trophy.
