If you don't follow cricket, you don't know what The Ashes is, I expect. If you do follow cricket, then you probably do know.
For those of you who don't know, but might possibly be interested, here's what it is:
The Ashes is a Test cricket series played between England and Australia. The Ashes are regarded as being held by the team that most recently won the Test series. If the test series is drawn, the team that currently holds the Ashes, retains the trophy.

ESPN has a short history of the Ashes (dated 2013).
Wikipedia (from where I got the description above) can supply the rest.
England currently holds The Ashes after the most recent series in 2015. Has it been that long?
Anyway, here's the team:
England announce Ashes squad for tour of Australia: Ben Stokes is included despite recent arrest and there are call-ups for James Vince, Mason Crane and Ben Foakes
The most critical players for England are going to be captain Joe Root, Alastair Cook, Moeen Ali, and superstar bowler James Anderson.
