England and Wales Cricket Board announces 2023 Ashes venues

The England and Wales Cricket Board announces that Edgbaston, Headingley, The Oval, Lord's and Old Trafford will host the 2023 Ashes Tests.

The England and Wales Cricket Board has confirmed that the 2023 Ashes Tests have been awarded to the same five grounds as the 2019 edition.

Headingley and Old Trafford have been selected, with regular venues Lord's, The Oval and Edgbaston making up the rest of the five-match series.

The decision sees Nottinghamshire's Trent Bridge, the Ageas Bowl in Hampshire and Glamorgan's Swalec Stadium miss out on The Ashes.

On Wednesday, the ECB also announced the cities that will host the new eight-team Twenty20 tournament in 2020.

Lord's and The Oval will host newly created teams in the competition, with the Ageas Bowl, Edgbaston, Headingley, Old Trafford, the Swalec Stadium and Trent Bridge the other grounds chosen.

The final of the 50-over One-Day Cup has also been moved from Lord's to Trent Bridge for the five-year period.

Gloucestershire, Durham, Glamorgan and Hampshire will all host England one-day internationals at their grounds throughout this period, with the latter two also set to stage T20 internationals.
