The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence will host a women’s one-day international between England and Australia in 2019.

The match will be played on Sunday, July 7, as part of the 2019 Women’s Ashes series.

Last season, the ground saw England face South Africa in a women’s ODI when Kent's Tammy Beaumont scored a century.

England were beaten in the final of the women’s T20 World Cup on Sunday by Australia.

Australia are currently ranked the number one women’s ODI team in the world with England, the world champions, ranked in second.

Kent’s director of cricket, Paul Downton, said: “We’re very excited to once again be chosen to host an England Women’s fixture.

“To host England and Australia, the two best women’s international sides in the world, in an Ashes match at The Spitfire Ground, St. Lawrence is an honour and something we are all looking forward to immensely.

“The interest in this England side after their 2017 World Cup win has rightly put them in the spotlight and it is fantastic the see the women’s game take such strides forward in popularity and participation over the last few years. Contesting fixtures like these can only help to move this on further.”
