The women’s T20 cricket will be included in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022 and will take place at the Edgbaston Stadium from 29th July. The bronze and gold medal matches will be played on August 7 while the tournament will commence with the encounter between India and Australia.
India will then play Pakistan on July 31 and Barbados on August 3.
“The women’s cricket T20 competition will be held at the Edgbaston Stadium from the 29 July, with the bronze and gold medal matches taking place on 7 August. The first match on the schedule will see Australia take on India in the early session,” the ECB said in a statement.
England will begin the campaign on July 30 where they will play the winner of the qualifying tournament which is scheduled to take place in 2022. This would be followed by the clash against South Africa in the early session on 2 August and then the game against New Zealand in the evening session on Thursday 4 August.
The seven qualifiers out of the 8 were announced in April while the final team would be determined at the end of January 2022. Barbados were recently confirmed as the side from West Indies.
Matt Kidson, Director of Sport for Birmingham 2022, said: “Not surprisingly we have already sold thousands of tickets for both the netball and cricket T20 sessions through our ticket ballots, but we know that some fans have been waiting to find out the details of the match schedules before choosing which sessions they want to attend, so we’re expecting these sports to sell quickly, when ticket sales go live.”
