Former England pacer Stuart Broad mocked Glenn McGrath’s 5-0 Ashes prediction favoring Australia for the 2025-26 series. Broad advised McGrath to wait for the tournament to begin, as it is almost four months away.

With the five-match series ending in a 2-2 draw, Ben Stokes’ England was unable to defeat a transitional Indian team, which may have led McGrath to conclude that Australia has a definite advantage in the Ashes.

The 2010–11 Ashes was the last time England defeated Australia at home, and they have had trouble on subsequent tours there. It was their last Test victory in the country.

McGrath’s Ashes prediction

“It’s very rare for me to make a prediction, isn’t it? And I can’t make a different one, 5-0. I’m very confident with our team. When you’ve got Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon firing in their home conditions, it’s going to be pretty tough,” McGrath said while speaking on BBC.

“Plus, that track record England have had, it’d be interesting to see if they can win a Test. I love seeing sportspeople go out there and play without fear,” he added

In response to the former Australian pacer’s prediction, Broad joked that he could have at least waited to make it until England had arrived in Australia

“It’s August!! At least let us land, Glenn,” Broad tweeted on Friday afternoon.

Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney are the five venues where the 2025 Men’s Ashes will take place. Beginning on January 4, 2026, the fifth Test at the SCG will mark the conclusion of the series. As part of the Seven Network’s coverage of the Ashes, Broad will join the commentary panel and share his thoughts.

Australia has only lost two of their last 15 home Test matches and won 4-0 in 2021–2022.
