THE HOME OF CRICKET WILL PLAY HOST TO FOUR UNMISSABLE INTERNATIONALS IN 2023, INCLUDING FIXTURES IN BOTH THE MEN’S AND WOMEN’S ASHES SERIES.
The international season starts at Lord’s on Thursday 1 June when England’s men play Ireland in a LV= Insurance Test match, 4 years after they first played in this format at Lord’s.
Ben Stokes and Heather Knight’s teams will then do battle against familiar foes Australia in two highly anticipated Ashes fixtures.
The second Test match in the 2023 men’s LV= Insurance Ashes will start at Lord’s on Wednesday 28 June.
England’s women will then take centre stage on Saturday 8 July in a floodlight T20I against Australia’s women.
Finally, in a repeat of the unforgettable men’s ICC World Cup Final of 2019, we round off the international season with a One Day International between England and New Zealand on Friday 15 September.
