Ben Stokes will lead England for the first time in an Ashes series, the hosts are looking to grab the urn for the first time since 2015, and – after the four-day Test against Ireland – it all starts on June 16 at Edgbaston.
The series will then conclude at Lord’s (June 28-July 2) and Headingley (July 6-10), scenes from Stokes’ 2019 heroics, Emirates Old Trafford (July 19-23) and The Kia Oval (July 27). -31).
It will be the first time in the Ashes’ 139-year history that there is no Test in England in August – the white-ball team looking to defend their 50-over World Cup in India from October onwards.
The Women’s Ashes will begin on June 22 with a five-day Test at Trent Bridge. That multi-format series then progresses to three IT20s and three ODIs, with the series winner being decided by a points system.
England women have not won the Ashes since 2013/14 and, like the men, dominated Australia in 2021/22.
A bumper home summer will continue for the men with four IT20s against New Zealand, the first at Durham on 30 August and the last at Trent Bridge on 5 September.
Jos Buttler’s side will face the Black Caps in four One Day Internationals before hosting Ireland for three more ODIs at the end of September.
Meanwhile, the women will take on Sri Lanka in three IT20s and three ODIs. Furthermore, the ICC has confirmed that the final of the World Test Championship will be held at the Oval in June, while Lord’s has been selected to host in 2025.
