The opening Test of the five-match series against India at Edgbaston in Birmingham marks the 1000th Test for England. They are set to become the first team in history to play 1000 Test matches.
Ahead of the historic match, England fast bowler Stuart Broad picked the Edgbaston Ashes Test of 2005 as favourite. England beat Australia by two runs in that match.
“Edgbaston 2005 Ashes right up there. Quite enjoyed Trent Bridge 2015….,” Broad’s post read.
After England, Australia are on the number two spot to have played most number of Test matches. Australia have played 812 matches.
India are at number four position with 522 Tests.
