Ashes urn

The Ashes urn is a symbolic trophy that represents the historic cricket rivalry between England and Australia. It is a small, decorative container believed to hold the ashes of a cricket bail or a symbol of victory, initially presented in 1882 after Australia’s first Test win on English soil. While the urn itself is kept at the Marylebone Cricket Club Museum in London, it symbolizes the fiercely competitive series played between the two nations. The Ashes series is held every two years, fostering national pride and cricketing excellence.
