ECB reveal fixtures for men’s and women’s Ashes 2023

England’s five-test Ashes series against Australia will take place in June and July of next year, with the full schedule confirmed for both the men and women.

England will be led by Ben Stokes for the first time in an Ashes series, with the hosts attempting to reclaim the urn for the first time since 2015. The series will begin on June 16 at Edgbaston, following a four-day Test against Ireland.

The series will then travel to Lord’s (June 28-July 2) and Headingley (July 6-10), the sites of Stokes’ 2019 heroics, before concluding at Emirates Old Trafford (July 19-23). (July 27-31).

The women’s Ashes will begin on June 22 with a five-day Test at Trent Bridge. Following that multi-format series, Heather Knight will compete in three IT20s and three ODIs, with the series winner determined by a points system.
