The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced the home schedule for the men’s and women’s teams, headlined by the men’s five-Test Ashes series and the women’s multi-format Ashes. England’s men, seeking redemption after a 4-1 defeat in Australia, will begin their campaign at Trent Bridge on June 18. Subsequent Tests will be played at Lord’s, Edgbaston, the Rose Bowl — hosting a men’s Ashes Test for the first time — and The Oval, where the series finale starts on July 29. England Women will launch their Ashes campaign with a one-off Test at Headingley from June 24, the venue’s first women’s Ashes Test since 2001. The white-ball leg includes three T20Is and three ODIs at various grounds. The ECB also confirmed The Oval will host the ICC World Test Championship 2027 Final from June 9 to 13.
