Overview
- Australia closed out the Ashes 4-1 in Sydney, where Travis Head earned player-of-the-match honors.
- Head finished as the series’ leading run-scorer on 629 after being promoted to open and striking a 69-ball century in Perth, the second-fastest in Ashes history.
- He produced multiple hundreds, including a fourth consecutive Test century at Adelaide Oval and a commanding 163 at the SCG.
- Mitchell Starc claimed the Compton–Miller Medal with 31 wickets and valuable runs across the five Tests.
- Within 24 hours of the win, Head sank a long, breaking putt at a Blitz Golf event at Kooyonga, as Alex Carey, Starc, Beau Webster and Steve Smith were set to rejoin their Big Bash League sides.
