The 2023 Ashes tests were awarded to "the same five grounds" as the '19 edition, the England & Wales Cricket Board confirmed, according to the BBC. Edgbaston, Headingley, The Oval, Lord's and Old Trafford will all host England vs. Australia matches in both series. The ECB also announced the cities that will host the new eight-team Twenty20 tournament in '20. Southampton, Birmingham, Leeds, London, Manchester, Cardiff and Nottingham were selected for the competition. Both Lord's and The Oval will host newly-created teams in the competition, with the Ageas Bowl, Edgbaston, Headingley, Old Trafford, the Swalec Stadium and Trent Bridge the other grounds chosen. There had been reports Hampshire's Ageas Bowl was set to host its first Ashes test match in the '23 series, "having missed out" in '19. But it, Glamorgan's Swalec Stadium and Trent Bridge "all failed in their bids to host the Ashes" (BBC, 2/14).
