The Ashes: Glenn McGrath says Australia's next goal is winning in England in 2027
Australia will aim to win the Ashes series in England for the first time since 2001, according to former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath. McGrath believes that his country has the quality of players to achieve this feat, but it won't be easy.
McGrath, who played a key role in Australia's previous Ashes victories, says that winning in England will be a big challenge for his team. "Winning in England is Australia's Everest," he said. "It's going to be tough, but I think we've got the team to do it."
The Australian side will aim to build on their 4-1 series victory over England earlier this year, with McGrath praising the performances of players such as Travis Head, Alex Carey, and Scott Boland. However, he also acknowledges that there will be key differences between playing in Australia and facing a hostile English crowd.
"One thing that's different is the mental toughness," McGrath said. "When you play at home, you've got to deal with all sorts of pressures and emotions. But when you're away from home, it's even more difficult."
McGrath believes that England will have to rethink their strategy if they want to win in Australia next year. The Australian team has shown a strong ability to adapt and overcome challenges, but McGrath warns that England will need to be mentally tough if they want to succeed.
"I think England are going to have to go back and re-think their blueprint," McGrath said. "They've got some good players, but they've also got to learn how to deal with pressure and build that mental toughness."
The Australian team is expected to remain largely unchanged for the 2027 Ashes series, with McGrath predicting a 5-0 whitewash victory over England. However, he acknowledges that there will be no easy wins in international cricket.
"It's not going to be a walkover," McGrath said. "We've got to work hard and earn every win. But I think we've got the team to do it."
