Ashes return to Old Trafford

Friday, June 1st 2012 01:00

The much anticipated return of the Ashes to the redeveloped Old Trafford will take place in August 2013.

England will take on Australia in the Third Investec Test match (August 1 to August 5) at Old Trafford, with tickets and hospitality due to go on sale in September 2012. The two teams also meet at Old Trafford in a NatWest One-Day International on Sunday 8 September 2013.

Next year, Old Trafford will have a new look - fitting for such international fixtures - which will include a redeveloped Pavilion and a state-of-the-art Players and Media Centre flanked by two double-tier grandstands.

It will be the first Test at Old Trafford since 2010, and the first Ashes match since the thrilling 2005 contest when over 30,000 spectators were locked out on the final day as supporters clambered to watch Michael Vaughan's men.
