Southampton to Host First Men's Ashes Test in 2025

Southampton's Utilita Bowl will host its first-ever men's Ashes Test in 2025.

This is a big deal because it's a new venue for this important cricket series.

The men's and women's Ashes series against Australia will happen at the same time, just like in 2023.

The first men's Test will be at Trent Bridge, and the first women's Test will be at Headingley.

England's summer schedule is packed with lots of cricket matches, including a World Test Championship final at London's Oval.

This is exciting because it's the 150th anniversary of Test cricket, and England will also host the World Test Championship finals in 2027, 2029, and 2031.
