Asian Games Definition: The Asian Games is a multi-disciplinary sports event held once in every four years.

The first-ever Asian Games were held in New Delhi in Asian Games were regulated by the Asian Games Federation from to The symbol for Asian Games is rising sun with interlocking rings. Nine nations haves hosted the Asian Games so far and 46 nations have participated in the games. Israel has not taken part in Asian Games since India is a founder member of Asian Games and also the host of the first Asian Games.

India is one of the seven countries to have participated in all the editions of the Asian Games. India along with Japan is the only country to have won at-least one gold medal in every event of Asian Games. When England next toured Australia those ashes became real - a pair of bails were burned and the ashes put into the now famous urn.

The winning players are given a replica to celebrate with, as the real trophy is far too fragile. Australia are the current holders of the Ashes. They won the last series , back in Overall, Australia have won 33 series and England has won 32, and five series have been drawn. So, this Ashes is a particularly important one!

Australia have dominated the tournament in recent history though. They were completely dominant for nearly 20 years before that, winning nine out of the ten series played. That's why there was such a huge fuss when England finally won it back in But England won the World Cup for the first time earlier this month and have not been beaten in a home Ashes series since So anything could happen!

I can't see there being any draws in the five Tests. At this stage, I've no idea which way it will go. If Australia can start well, I think they can go on and win, but the same can be said if England find form. Both teams have strength in the bowling, so whichever batsmen put their hands up will be the side that wins the Ashes. The question is which team can be the most consistent with the bat? It will be to someone. I expect England to win to round off a memorable summer.

One name that is on every cricket fans lips is Jofra Archer , who has been called up for his first ever Test match. He has been making waves in the sport and was the leading wicket-taker in the recent World Cup. Archer has a super fast right arm, bowling at speeds of up to kph, which poses some big problems for even the most experienced batsman. At just 24 years old, Jofra is well on his way to a shining career in the sport.

England captain Joe Root is one of the top players to watch out for. The year-old batsman took over as captain in and has proved to be a reliable captain. Root is a strong all-rounder and has racked up runs in just 81 matches.
