ashes cricket 2013The 2013 Ashes series is a forthcoming

series of Test cricket matches to be contested between England and Australia.

The five venues are confirmed for the series: Lord's, Old Trafford, Trent Bridge,

the Riverside Ground and The Oval. There were questions as to whetherLord's would host an Ashes match– it would have been

the first time since 1882 that Lord's had not hosted an Ashes Test – but the venues were eventually confirmed to include

Lord's on 22 September 2011. On 1 June 2012, it was announced that the First Test

was scheduled to take place at Trent Bridge.

The Australian live television rights to the series will be shared by Fox and Channel 9 Fox Sports, and the British rights by Sky

Sports.The 2013 series will be the first of two

back-to-back Ashes series. Due to an intent to break the cycle of an Ashes series being held directly before a World Cup, the Ashes are being brought forward in the schedule

by one year, starting with the 2013–14 series in Australia.

5 tests, starting from July 10th to august 25th
