Bristol to host England & Australia Women's IT20 in 2019

26 November 2018

ICC Women’s World T20 finalists England will host West Indies and Australia next summer, with six ODI's, six IT20's and one Test.

The Brightside Ground, Bristol will be hosting the final International T20 fixture of the series against Australia on Wednesday 31st July 2019 and it could well be the decider between the two sides. 

The West Indies ODIs will count towards the ICC Women’s Championship, with qualification for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2021 at stake.

Heather Knight’s team will visit eight grounds across the country, starting at Leicester and finishing at Bristol with the historic Women’s Ashes Test match taking place at Taunton.

The Kia Super League will follow the Women's Ashes, with Finals Day once again taking place at Hove.

Clare Connor, Director of England Women’s Cricket, said: “We are thrilled to host two world class women’s teams on our shores in the summer of 2019.

“As we have just seen in front of record crowds at the ICC Women's World T20 in West Indies, both West Indies and Australia will be sure to provide a great challenge for us as well as skilful, entertaining cricket for the growing fan-base for the women’s game.

“Every Ashes summer is a privilege for us all to be part of and we’re looking forward to collaborating with all our venues to ensure we deliver high quality match-day experiences throughout the summer of 2019.”
