a English cricketers ashes were taken to Australia
I believe that would be 1882, if you're asking when it was first presented. It is named after a satirical obituary published in an English newspaper, The Sporting Times, in 1882 after the match at The Oval in which Australia beat England on an English ground for the first time. The obituary stated that English cricket had died, and the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia.
ashes is a test series played between Australia and England and in both the countries
England lost a series against Australia back in the 1800s and a death notice ad appeared in a london newspaper signifying the death of English cricket and the ashes would be brought back to Australia. The writer of this notice had a small urn that contained a bail (small wooden piece above wickets) burned to ashes signifying the death of English cricket. Therefore the ashes was born and Australia has won the majority of the contests since- so English cricket really did die. Someone remind them to stop inventing sports they can't win!!

The Ashes.
They aren't the ashes of a person. The tradition is that it is the ashes of the bails from the wickets of the first Ashes test. The name came from a editorial of a newspaper saying (after an English defeat) that English cricket had died and the ashes sent to Australia.
