Cricket
England internationals
Dates England v New Zealand Tests: June 2-6 (Lord’s), June 10-14 (Edgbaston); England v Sri Lanka T20s: June 23, 24, 26; ODIs: June 29, July 1, 4; England v Pakistan ODIs: July 8, 10, 13; T20s: July 16, 18, 20
Chances of full venues For the New Zealand Test, both Lord’s and Edgbaston are restricted to crowds of 25 per cent capacity in line with stage three of the Government’s lockdown roadmap — around 7,500 and 6,000 respectively. However, the timing is perfect for cricket to start returning to full venues for the rest of the summer.
How do I get tickets? Lord’s and Edgbaston are sold out for the New Zealand Test having been among the first venues to begin their sales processes. However, Lord’s, Edgbaston, Cardiff and Headingley all have tickets available for the remaining fixtures which are on track to be full.
How can I watch at home? Sky is the rights-holder for home English fixtures.
The Hundred
Dates July 21-Aug 21
Chances of full venues The timing of the competition is perfect for the competition to establish itself with big crowds. The Oval, Edgbaston, Trent Bridge, Headingley, Lord’s, Old Trafford, Sophia Gardens and Ageas Bowl all hope to be able to offer full venue and hospitality access.
How do I get tickets? Season tickets, group stage, “eliminator” (play-off), and final tickets are already on sale via the Hundred website.
How can I watch at home? Sky has the bulk of the games, but 10 men’s and women’s games will be screened on the BBC as the competition looks to generate new audiences.
