ECB announced schedule for Men's and Women's Ashes series 2023.

The Ashes 2023 five-Test series between England and Australia will begin on June 16^th with the first match to be played in Edgbaston, organizers confirmed.

Australia thrashed England 4-0 in the last edition of the Ashes which was played down under which was a huge catalyst in head coach Chris Silverwood getting replaced and then later Joe Root stepping down as the captain.

The new combination of captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum has done wonders as England has lost only one of their last 7 Test matches. England will face Ireland in a one-off Test before facing off Australia in the Ashes 2023.

The second Test will be held from June 28 at Lord's, followed by the third in Headingley from July 6, and the fourth at Old Trafford from July 19. The series will wrap up at The Oval with the fifth Test scheduled for July 27.
