Former England spinner Monty Panesar feels that one of the oldest cricket rivalries, the Ashes, should live up to the expectations of the recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

"Well, the Ashes is the next big thing. Will it live up to the hype of the expectations? I think it will. I think it is going to be an amazing series," Panesar told ANI.

In the concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, both teams showcased immense grit and delivered outstanding performances. The hard-fought five-match Test series between Team India and England ended in a 2-2 draw.
