New Chapter for Ashes: Mixed‑Disability Cricket Takes Center Stage

New Delhi, 22 July – The storied Ashes clashes between England and Australia are set to break new ground in 2027 with the introduction of a Mixed‑Disability Ashes series. Designed to boost opportunities for disabled players and promote inclusivity, the series will see Australia’s mixed‑disability men’s side tour England for a T20 encounter that forms part of the 2027 Ashes Summer schedule. While the precise dates and venues are yet to be confirmed, the arrangement ensures that England’s male, female and mixed‑disability squads will all partake in the same Ashes season. The announcement highlights the swift rise of disability cricket, a format that has already seen England face India and host another series this summer. With Australia joining the roster, the international cricket calendar gains a new, inclusive dimension.
