Adelaide, Australia, Nov 22: Cricket Australia has confirmed the schedule for the 2013-14 Ashes series against England, with the tour starting with a warmup match in Perth on Oct. 31 and the first test scheduled to start Nov. 21 at Brisbane.
Dates and venues for the five limited-overs matches and three Twenty20 internationals will be released in January.
As well as the five tests, England will play a three-day match against a Western Australia XI at Perth, and four-day matches against Australia A in Hobart, a New South Wales XI in Sydney and a two-day match against a Cricket Australia Chairman's XI in Canberra on Nov. 29-30.
Australia will play an Ashes series in England in 2013 before hosting the return series in a congested year for the traditional bilateral series.
