02:27We all set?

02:28Okay.

02:31Well, firstly, thank you so much for coming down to the SCG.

02:34It's amazing to be back here so soon after an incredible boarder

02:38series with the women's Ashes starting on Sunday at North

02:43Sydney Oval.

02:44So I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome the England squad,

02:48captained by Heather Knight.

02:49And it's great here to have England players,

02:52Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, as well as our very own Ash Gardner

02:56and Phoebe Litchfield.

02:59It's already been an absolutely phenomenal summer,

03:02record crowds for the men's test, for the WBBL, for the BBL.

03:07And this series is really going to keep the momentum going.

03:12The women's Ashes is one of the greatest rivalries in world

03:15cricket.

03:17Incredible history, wonderful caliber of players.

03:22And I checked this morning on the website,

03:25the Australia and England are ranked one and two in both T20

03:30cricket and ODI cricket.

03:32So following a magnificent series last year in the UK,

03:37this is going to be an absolutely,

03:39another incredible series.

03:42We're very proud of our investment in women's cricket.

03:45I think we've seen the level of professionalism increase

03:48significantly over recent years.

03:51And it's wonderful to see so many emerging stars such as Phoebe,

03:55who's with us here today.

03:57Coincidentally,

03:58it's 90 years since the first women's Ashes test match back in

04:0434, 35.

04:07It's been 25 series overall.

04:11Australia have won nine, England have won six,

04:14and there've been nine drawn series.

04:17In 2013, we introduced the multi-format series,

04:21which I think has added a really great new dimension.

04:25And it presents a really huge challenge for both sides in all

04:29formats of the game.

04:31We're absolutely thrilled to be playing in major stadiums here at

04:35the SCG, the Adelaide Oval, Marnica Oval,

04:40Delrive Oval in Tassie.

04:43And the series culminates in the first ever day night test at the

04:47MCG from 30th of January to the 2nd of February,

04:51which is going to be just an amazing celebration of cricket,

04:56of cricket's leadership in equality through sport.
