The 1st Central County Ground set to host England Women vs Sri Lanka Women in 2023

The ECB today announced that England Women will take on Sri Lanka Women in the second of three One Day Internationals on Sunday 17th September 2023 at The 1st Central County Ground.

This morning the ECB released the full fixture schedule for both England Men’s and Women’s teams, including an Ashes series for both sides next Summer.

With England Men and England Women hoping to regain the Ashes following defeats Down Under last winter, both series will be settled in July before England Men take on New Zealand Men and Ireland Men in One-Day Internationals and Vitality IT20s. England Men’s LV= Insurance Test match versus Ireland will be the two teams’ second Test match encounter, their first coming in 2019.

Interim Chief Executive Officer Clare Connor said: “Next summer will be huge for England Women and England Men. There are few events more special in English sport than a home Ashes series and I know that Heather, Ben, and their teams, will be excited and driven by the challenge of regaining the Ashes.

“I am particularly delighted that we have announced our England Men and England Women’s fixtures side by side for the first time, meaning that supporters can enter the ballot or register interest for any fixture on the same day. June and July will be very special months for cricket in this country with the buzz of two Ashes series taking place simultaneously.

“The women’s game continues to grow and we have clearly entered another phase in terms of the demand for elite women’s sport. We’ve seen record numbers flock to stadia for the second season of The Hundred. Now we want to give more fans the chance to watch England Women in person next summer as they compete for the Ashes on home soil.”
