England Men’s Visually Impaired (VI) squad are set to take on Australia in a multi-format Ashes series starting Sunday November 17.
The teams will start with a three-match One Day International leg in Tambourine Mountain, followed by five T20s in Palm Beach, New South Wales. The series ends Tuesday November 25.
All matches will be streamed on Cricket Australia’s YouTube channel and updates can be found across ECB and England Cricket social channels.
England Men’s VI team will be aiming to retain the Visually Impaired Ashes having won the last tournament - the fifth iteration of the VI Ashes - in Adelaide in 2016.
England Men’s VI captain, Ed Hossell, said: “We are super excited to be heading back out to Australia. It’s a series that we are all really looking forward to.
“It’ll be a few of the lads' first time playing both in Australia and in a series so steeped in history. We’ve been working hard in preparation and can’t wait to get out there to show what we can do. The rivalry is definitely just as strong in visually impaired cricket.”
