Within just three weeks, England and Australia will face each other in three ODIs, three T20s, and a demanding four-day Test match as part of the highly anticipated Women’s Ashes 2025 series.
The reason behind this tightly packed schedule is the upcoming Women’s Premier League 2025 (WPL 2025) in India, which has forced Cricket Australia (CA) and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to compress the Women’s Ashes 2025 series.
The five-match multi-format series between Australia Women and England Women will be played across multiple cities from January 12 in Sydney. However, there is only a four-day gap between the third T20 and the subsequent four-day pink-ball Test in Melbourne, which irked the England Women coach as he feels the players will face a major challenge.
There’s no flexibility because of WPL and Christmas: England Women's coach
Jon Lewis was quoted as saying by The Guardian: “My preference would be that there’s more space between the games, and the players’ preference would be as well. I’m pretty sure we would have requested more space between the white ball [games] and the Test match, but the schedule came back as it was. It won’t be straightforward. The schedule is pretty rammed, close together. There’s no flexibility because of WPL and Christmas.”
