How it works

How Challenge a Friend works

Build a team, share a private link, and compare the result when your friend is done.

1. Build your XI

Draft a full historic Ashes XI in Classic or Memory mode and lock the side you want to send.

2. Generate and share a private link

Create a short URL that saves the team privately and keeps generated challenge pages excluded from indexing.

3. Your friend drafts and plays

They open the link, draft their own XI in the same mode, and then play a five-Test series against your saved team.

4. Compare or challenge them back

Review the final result, send it back, and set up a rematch if you both want another go.

XI board

Roll an Ashes squad to begin your challenge XI.
