Arundel Castle set for 13 days of international cricket this summer
International cricket, in all its variety and reach, will return this summer to the storied setting of Arundel Castle Cricket Ground, reaffirming the venue’s quiet but enduring place within the global game.
Across 13 days of fixtures, the programme reflects not merely a schedule, but a deliberate curation of cricket’s many forms; men’s and women’s, youth and disability.
Proceedings begin on May 22 as the England Lions take on South Africa A in a four-day match. Later that month, on May 31, attention shifts to the women’s game, with Australia women meeting South Africa women in a Twenty20 fixture.
August brings a further broadening of scope. On the 15 and 16, the England Mixed Disability XI face the India Mixed Disability XI in a pair of T20 matches.
The month concludes with the next generation: England Under-19s against Pakistan Under-19s in a four-day match starting on August 31. This will be followed by two 50-over One Day Internationals on September 7 and 9.
James Rufey, Director of Cricket at Arundel Castle said: “The ground enjoys a rich history in the hosting of international cricket and this season’s offering certainly does cover all areas of the game. We so look forward to welcoming international teams from South Africa, India, Australia and Pakistan ”
