The fixtures for the 2023 men and women’s Ashes have been announced with details on how to get tickets.

England plays host next summer as they look to regain the historic urn, which Australia decisively won in both the men and women’s series last year.

The women’s Ashes will feature a five-day Test match, rather than the normal four-day version, for the first time at Trent Bridge, while Lord’s, the Kia Oval, Edgbaston, The Ageas Bowl, the Seat Unique Stadium and Cooper Associates County Ground are the other grounds hosting matches in the multi-format series

The men’s five-Test series will take place at Edgbaston, Lord’s, Headingley, Old Trafford and the Kia Oval.

ICC interim chief executive officer Clare Connor said: “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 [Knight], Ben [Stokes], and their teams, will be excited and driven by the challenge of regaining the Ashes.”
