Next summer will be huge for England Women and England Men. There are few events more special in English sport than a home Ashes series and I know that Heather, Ben, and their teams, will be excited and driven by the challenge of regaining the Ashes.""I am particularly delighted that we have announced our England Men and England Women's fixtures side by side for the first time, meaning that supporters can enter the ballot or register interest for any fixture on the same day. June and July will be very special months for cricket in this country with the buzz of two Ashes series taking place simultaneously.""The women's game continues to grow and we have clearly entered another phase in terms of the demand for elite women's sport. We've seen record numbers flock to stadia for the second season of The Hundred.

There is no bigger challenge than retaining the Ashes away from home. There is huge excitement from our teams as they look to write themselves into Ashes folklore.""While these series are on the horizon, we're excited for the cricket immediately ahead this summer as our men's team host England across two highly anticipated Dettol T20I and ODI Series either side of the T20 World Cup," said Nick Hockley, Cricket Australia CEO.2023 Australia Women's Ashes Tour of EnglandJun 22-26: Test match - Trent Bridge, NottinghamJul 1: First T20I - Edgbaston, BirminghamJul 5: Second T20I - The Oval, LondonJul 8: Third T20I - Lord's, LondonJul 12: First ODI - County Ground, BristolJul 16: Second ODI - The Ageas Bowl, SouthamptonJul 18: Third ODI - County Ground, Taunton2023 Australia Men's Ashes Tour of EnglandJun 16 - Jun 20: First Test - Edgbaston, BirminghamJun 28 - Jul 2: Second Test - Lord's, LondonJul 6 - Jul 10: Third Test - Headingley, LeedsJul 19 - Jul 23: Fourth Test - Old Trafford, ManchesterJul 27 - Jul 31: Fifth Test - The Oval, LondonDisclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
