Cardiff’s SWALEC Stadium will host the
opening Investec Ashes Test Match of the
five-match series as it did in 2009 when
England’s last pair James Anderson and Monty
Panesar clung on for a famous draw on the final
day of a gripping Ashes encounter.
Lord’s, Edgbaston, Trent Bridge and The Kia Oval
will also stage Investec Test Matches as England
bid to regain the famous Ashes urn and win a
fourth successive home Ashes series following
their previous triumphs in 2005, 2009 and 2013.
After the Ashes, England and Australia will do
battle again in a NatWest T20I at Cardiff’s
SWALEC Stadium before the international season
reaches its climax in September with The Ageas
Bowl, Lord’s, Emirates Old Trafford and
Headingley hosting matches in the Royal London
One-Day International series.
New Zealand’s tour of England will begin in May
with tour matches against Somerset and
Worcestershire before the two countries meet in
the opening international action of the summer –
the first Investec Test Match at Lord’s.
Headingley will stage the second Investec Test
Match of the two-match series against the Black
Caps before the focus shifts to the Royal London
One-Day International series with Edgbaston, The
Kia Oval, The Ageas Bowl, Trent Bridge and
Emirates Durham ICG all staging ODIs and
Emirates Old Trafford hosting a NatWest T20I.
ECB Chief Executive David Collier said: “Next
summer promises to be a hugely exciting
international season with England’s bid to
regain the Ashes set to be one of the major
highlights of the sporting year. We’re also
delighted to be hosting New Zealand again across
all three formats of the international game and
would like to thank all those county and
international venues who will be hosting our
touring teams next year.”
