Will Brown, Gloucestershire Cricket Chief Executive, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to be welcoming England Women to the Bristol County Ground for three matches this summer. We have a really good track record in attracting large crowds for England Women’s matches here, and we know that supporters will look forward to what promises to be some excellent cricket in Bristol this year.
It will be an historic moment for us to be able to host a first-ever Test Match at our Ground. In a year where we are celebrating a belated 150th Anniversary for the Club, it is fitting that we will be adding another milestone moment to add to a distinguished list. We know that Heather Knight and her team have a good record and enjoy playing in Bristol, so it will be fantastic to see how they go against both India and New Zealand.”
