>>> How to buy England Cricket tickets<\/a><\/p>\nThe ECB and Cricket Australia have agreed to schedule a high-quality match for the Australia Men\u2019s team against a full-strength England Lions team at an international venue in order to prepare for the 2027 Rothesay Men\u2019s Ashes Series and that this will be reciprocated when England tour Australia in 2029. That match has been scheduled for Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground from 7-10* June.\u00a0<\/p>\n
England Men will first start their home season with a five-match Metro Bank ODI Series against Pakistan from Saturday 15 May at Utilita Bowl. They will then play Bangladesh in a one-off Rothesay Test match at Lord\u2019s from Friday 28 May.\u00a0<\/p>\n
England Men\u2019s white-ball team will play ten Metro Bank ODIs over the course of the summer as they fine-tune preparations for the 2027 ICC Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup in southern Africa. Their schedule concludes with a three-match Vitality IT20 Series and five Metro Bank ODIs against New Zealand in September.\u00a0<\/p>\n
England Women end their summer schedule with a three-match Vitality IT20 series and a three-match Metro Bank ODI Series against Bangladesh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
ECB Chief Executive Officer Richard Gould said:\u00a0\u201cThe Ashes is the pinnacle of our\u00a0sport\u00a0and it is significant that next summer we will have three England teams playing against Australia at venues across the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last time Australia were here made for captivating cricket, in a way that only the Ashes can provide, as both of our Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s teams fought back to level the series in dramatic circumstances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNext summer will see the men\u2019s team play a Rothesay Ashes Test at the Utilita Bowl for the very first time, while the women\u2019s team will play an Ashes Test at Headingley for the first time since 2001.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0also important that this summer shines a light on every part of our cricketing landscape and the inclusion of the England Men\u2019s Mixed Disability team during an Ashes summer is a landmark moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are also excited to welcome Bangladesh Men for a one-off Test at Lord\u2019s, which will be the first time we have played them at home in a Test since 2010 while also hosting Bangladesh Women in a white-ball series.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWith New Zealand Men touring as part of a white\u2011ball series that will be invaluable for our England Men\u2019s team ahead of the 2027 ICC Men\u2019s World Cup, we have a summer schedule that offers high\u2011quality cricket across all formats and for all our England teams and fans.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every England Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s match of the 2027 international summer will be shown live on Sky.<\/p>\n
World Test Championship Final\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Oval will host the ICC World Test Championship Final for the second time in 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ICC announced last year that the ECB have been awarded the right to host the next three finals in London in 2027, 2029 and 2031 with the ECB deciding where those matches should take place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It has now been agreed that the 2027 match will take place at The Oval, which was sold out when it previously hosted the final of Test cricket\u2019s showpiece match in 2023, with Australia beating India to the title. The match will take place from Wednesday 9 to Sunday 13 June.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Neil Snowball, ECB Managing Director, Competitions and Major Events, said: \u201cWe are honoured to be staging the next three ICC World Test Championship Finals in England and Wales, and\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0pleased to confirm that The Oval will play host again next year. The 2023 final at The Oval was a huge hit with broadcasters and fans, and I\u2019ve no doubt that next year\u2019s event will be extra special again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis promises to be another fantastic opportunity for cricket fans in this country and from around the world to see the best two Test teams in the world from the past two years taking each other on in a showpiece event.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Next year\u2019s final will mark the end of the fourth edition of the World Test Championship. The first final in 2021 was held in\u00a0biosecure\u00a0conditions in Southampton, with New Zealand beating India, while last year\u2019s sell-out event at Lord\u2019s saw South Africa securing victory against Australia on day four.\u00a0<\/p>\n
ICC General Manager, Events & Operations, Gaurav Saxena, said: \u201cThe ICC World Test Championship Final has established itself as one of the most prestigious occasions in the global cricket calendar, bringing together the two best Test teams in the world after two years of sustained excellence and consistency.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe confirmation of The Oval as the venue for the 2027 Final is another testament to the strong and collaborative partnership between the ICC and the ECB. This partnership was\u00a0showcased\u00a0through the outstanding success of the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup, where both organisations worked seamlessly together to deliver several landmark moments for women\u2019s sport and create an unforgettable experience for players,\u00a0fans\u00a0and the wider cricket community.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 2027 World Test Championship Final will hold special significance as cricket celebrates 150 years of Test cricket. The Oval has played a proud role in the history of our sport and has hosted some of its most memorable moments. We look forward to working closely with the ECB to deliver another world-class event that celebrates the enduring legacy of Test cricket and creates lasting memories for fans around the world.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
