It is not inscribed with words but is emblematic of the historic rivalry between England and Australia in Test cricket. The urn itself is often referred to as "The Ashes," symbolizing the series contested between the two nations. The actual trophy awarded to the winning team is a replica of the urn, and it is inscribed with details of the series and the year.
What year where the ashes first created?
The Ashes, the famous cricket series between England and Australia, was first created in 1882. The term "The Ashes" originated after a match at The Oval in London, where Australia defeated England for the first time on English soil. Following that match, a mock obituary was published, stating that English cricket had died and "the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia," leading to the series being named after this concept. The actual Ashes trophy was first awarded in 1903.

Why are the cricket ashes called ashes?
In 1882, after Australia defeated England on English soil for the first time, The Sporting Times ran the following obituary for English cricket:In Affectionate RemembranceofENGLISH CRICKET,which died at the Ovalon29th AUGUST 1882,Deeply lamented by a large circle of sorrowingfriends and acquaintancesR.I.P.N.B.-The body will be cremated and theashes taken to Australia.Later that year, when the English cricketers set out for Australia, captain Ivo Bligh promised to "recover those ashes", and repeated the promise several times during the tour. When England won that series 2-1, some Melbourne women presented him with a small urn containing the ashes of a bail; when he died his widow gave the urn to the MCC, and it is now in the museum at Lord's. However after this tour the whole thing was considered over and forgotten.Twenty years later, in 1903, English captain Pelham Warner once again led a tour to Australia, with the stated aim of "recovering the ashes", and after returning from a victorious series he wrote a book How We Recovered The Ashes, and that is how the term entered public discourse. The first reference to the Ashes in Wisden is from 1905.
