Andrew Strauss is confident that England can claim two more Ashes victories before he resigns as Test captain.

The 34-year-old has admitted that he is desperate for victories over arch rivals Australia and believes that England will be prepared for the battles.

"Playing in back-to-back Ashes tours would be a realistic goal," Strauss told BBC Radio five live.

"But I'm not going to say that is definitely what is going to happen. There's a lot of cricket to be played between now and then. We will see where we are in 12 months, then another 12 months and go from there."

Strauss has 89 Test caps under his belt.
