Scheduling and stage selection

In January 2011 it was decided that two Ashes Series would be held in 2013 to avoid conflicts with the 2015 Cricket World Cup in Australia. The stadiums were announced in September 2011, with the established Edgbaston in particular failing to do so. The final termination took place in June 2012.

spring

Both Australia and England did one tour each spring. Australia played four Tests in India in February and March , all of which were lost to the hosts . In addition to tests, England played ODIs and Twenty20 games at home against New Zealand . England won the two test matches, but lost the ODI series 1: 2.
