The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced the schedule of the next Ashes Test cricket series between Australia and England. The series will be played in the United Kingdom which will start from August 1 to September 16, 2019.
Moreover, this Ashes rubber will be a part of the World Test Championship. The series will begin in Edgbaston and will conclude at the Oval in London.
Here's the complete schedule:
| Match Number | Date | Venue |
| 1 | August 1, 2019 | Edgbaston, Birmingham |
| 2 | August 14, 2019 | Lord's, London |
| 3 | August 22, 2019 | Headingley, Leeds |
| 4 | September 4, 2019 | Old Trafford, Manchester |
| 5 | September 12, 2019 | The Oval, London |
While announcing the fixture, ECB CEO Tom Harrison said, “There is nothing more important to England cricket fans than an Ashes Series. With the added element of being England's first Test series in the new World Test Championship, it's a hugely exciting prospect and we anticipate unprecedented demand for tickets.”
"We would love to see fans from all over the world getting to experience the unique atmosphere of an Ashes Test match after the ICC Cricket World Cup,” he added.
However, the 2019 English summer begins with a one-off T20I against Pakistan on May 5 in Cardiff before the two sides engage in five One-Day Internationals (ODIs) which end on May 19.
Then England will meet Test debutants Ireland in a one-off contest between July 24 and 27. "We fully supported the ICC's decision to award Full Membership to Cricket Ireland and we expect next summer's inaugural Test match at Lord's against our neighbours to be a historic celebration for all Irish cricket fans," Harrison said.
