Australia's Matt Renshaw ready for the Ashes banter

Matt Renshaw knew that when he batted well for Australia, he'd likely get a go at playing for the Ashes against England. Those Ashes are included in the tiny urn that's the prize for winning the oldest series in test cricket, and which symbolizes the long and often-heated bilateral sports exchanges between England and its former convict colony.

Despite being born in Yorkshire, and being family friends with the existing England captain, Renshaw didn't take much persuading to select sides when he was selected to create his test debut for Australia in November this past year against South Africa, aged 20.
