“The Ashes cricket series is fiercely contested between Australia and England and inspired us to run our own DraftKings Ashes competition. The rivalry between our two teams is already heating up and will no doubt reach similar heights as its cricketing namesake. We are excited for the contest to kick off and to watch the players compete for the prestigious title. 

 “As a digital sports entertainment and gaming company we aim to fuel the competitive spirits of fans and this initiative will help further drive engagement from both our existing customers and sports enthusiasts around the globe.”— Jeffrey Haas, SVP of International Strategy at DraftKings
