Ashes 2023: The Ashes 2023 will feature England and Australia, two of cricket’s most historic rivals. The Ashes is a test series between two long-standing cricket rivals that takes place every two years and typically consists of five games. In this article, we’ll go into the details of The Ashes 2023, including when it will take place and where.
Each team takes turns hosting The Ashes, and this year England gets the honour. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced the series’ full itinerary on March 15th, including all five match locations and dates.
Former England captain Ben Stokes is playing for the Chennai Super Kings in this year’s Indian Premier League. In the first week of June, before taking on Australia in the Ashes, England will host Ireland in a one-off Test match at Lord’s Cricket Stadium in London, captained by captain Ben Stokes and coached by Brendon McCullum. On June 16, the legendary Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham will host the first game of the much-anticipated Ashes series.
The series will continue at Lord’s (June 28-July 2) and Headingley (July 6-10), where Stokes performed so valiantly in 2019, before wrapping up at Emirates Old Trafford (July 19-23) and The Kia Oval (July 27-31).
Ashes 2023: Here is the complete schedule for both men’s and Women’s Ashes
It will be the first time in the 139-year history of the Ashes that there is no Test in August. This is due to England’s white-ball squad trying to defend their 50-over World Cup later in the year, commencing in October in India.
In the event of a draw in the series, the side that currently holds the Ashes will keep the trophy. Australia won the Ashes against England very recently. There have been 72 Ashes series played thus far, with Australia winning 34, England winning 32, and six ending in a tie.
