Points Percentage: 100%
Leading run-scorer this cycle: Travis Head (224 runs)
Leading wicket-taker this cycle: Mitchell Starc (15 wickets)
Series remaining: ENG (5), NZ (4), BAN (2), SA (3), IND (5)
The 2023 World Test Championship winners made a perfect start to the cycle with a clean sweep of the West Indies in the Caribbean in the middle of the year, but face a tougher ask when they host arch-rival England in a five-match series that commences in Perth on November 21.
The Aussies have won the two most recent Ashes series at home 4-0 and will be hoping for a similar result this time around to keep them at the top of the standings.
Following the series against England, Australia aren’t scheduled to be back in Test action until the second half of 2026.
