Is the Ashes every 3 years?

The Ashes is a Test cricket series played between England and Australia. The series has been played since 1882 and is one of the oldest and most famous rivalries in sport. It is also one of the most closely contested, with England and Australia having both won the series 32 times.

The Ashes is traditionally held every two years, alternating between Australia and England. This is because the series consists of five Test matches, which are usually held over a period of six or seven weeks. This means that the series is not able to be held every year, as the countries involved would not have enough time to prepare in between series.

However, on occasion, the series has been held every three years. This has largely been due to scheduling constraints, and it is not usual for the series to be held every three years. In fact, the last time the Ashes was held every three years was back in 1973. Since then, the series has been held every two years, although in some years, the two nations have agreed to play an additional series in the same year, such as in 2005 when Australia and England played an additional series in the same year.
