International Cricket at the CACG in 2025
It will be another exciting summer of international cricket in 2025, and Somerset County Cricket Club will once again be playing our part.
On Saturday June 7th England Women take on the West Indies in the third Metro Bank ODI at the Cooper Associates County Ground.
Make sure that you don’t miss out on seeing Heather Knight’s side in action at Taunton next summer by registering now for priority access to tickets.
Ticket sales activity for priority groups is set to commence from August 29 with a Public Ballot for England Men’s and England Women’s international fixtures.
Regarding the fixture, SCCC Chief Executive, Jamie Cox said: “Somerset County Cricket Club has been at the forefront of championing the women’s game for a number of year’s and therefore we are delighted to be hosting England Women at the Cooper Associates County Ground again in 2025.
“We have a duty to inspire girls from across the region to pick up a bat or a ball, and our strong links to the England side, allied to the awarding of Tier 1 status, means that 2025 promises to be a huge year for the women’s game in the South West. We are excited to be playing our part in that.
“We are proud that players with links to the region have gone on to succeed at the highest level. The likes of Heather Knight, Anya Shrubsole, Fran Wilson, Dani Gibson and Lauren Filer are genuine role models, and we look forward to playing our part in helping to develop the England legends of the future.
“We hope that as many of you as possible will join us here in June next year to cheer on the Three Lions against the West Indies.”
England Women will open the international summer at Canterbury on May 21st with a Vitality IT20 against West Indies Women. That series will include a further two IT20s, before the sides compete in three Metro Bank One Day Internationals (ODIs).
Elsewhere next summer, a three-match ODI series between England Men and West Indies Men will begin a few days later at Edgbaston on May 29th, with a three-match IT20 series straight after. This follows the conclusion of a historic Test match against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge, starting on May 22nd, which will be the first time Zimbabwe have played a Test match in England since 2003.
The West Indies series will be followed by England Men’s and England Women’s series against India which will also run alongside each other. A five-match Men’s Rothesay Test series will be interspersed by England Women’s five Vitality IT20s and three Metro Bank One Day Internationals.
England Men’s series will begin at Headingley on June 20th before matches at Edgbaston, Lord’s and Emirates Old Trafford. The series will conclude at The Kia Oval in early August.
Next year’s England Women’s series will begin with Vitality IT20s at Trent Bridge, Bristol’s Seat Unique Stadium, The Kia Oval, Emirates Old Trafford and Edgbaston, before three Metro Bank ODIs at Southampton’s Utilita Bowl, Lord’s and the Seat Unique Riverside, Chester-le-Street.
The home international summer will then conclude in early September, with England Men taking on South Africa in three Metro Bank ODIs and three Vitality IT20s, before the team travels to Ireland for three ODIs from September 17th to 21st.
Richard Gould, ECB Chief Executive Officer, said: “Staging England Men’s and England Women’s series alongside each other has been popular with fans and supported the continued growth of the women’s game, with both the Ashes last year and the Pakistan series earlier this year proving successful. I’m excited we’ll be doing the same again for the West Indies and India series next year. Cricket fans are in for a real treat, and I hope they’ll be out in force to support both men’s and women’s sides.
“India touring is always a big draw and a highlight of any cricket summer. The last men’s Test series here was a nailbiter and I’m sure next year’s clash will be just as exciting, while our women’s series are always fiercely competitive. I’m delighted we’ll also be welcoming both West Indies teams back again for white-ball series, following this year’s men’s Test series.
“To be welcoming Zimbabwe back for a men’s Test Match will be a historic moment, more than 20 years since their last visit. Test cricket is so beloved in this country, and we know that we have an important role to play in supporting developing test cricketing nations so that this format of the game thrives long into the future.
“I’m also delighted we can confirm that India Women will return in 2026 to take on England Women in the first-ever women’s Test match at Lord’s. It will be a truly special occasion, and one of real significance.”
Confirmation of series for England’s Disability sides will be announced in due course, with the domestic Disability Premier League set to take place across August and September.
