The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed on Friday that they will be hosting a three-match T20I and ODI series to be played against Australia. England has as of no hosted series of matches against West Indies, Ireland and Pakistan after opening up again Post Covid-19 outbreak.

The series was initially scheduled to be held in July, but it was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak across the world.
