Edgbaston cricket stadium has received another boost just days before the start of the 2023 Ashes Series after being chosen to host a string of major cricket matches.
In another major boon to Birmingham's tourism economy, the venue will welcome what bosses are calling its "biggest-ever allocation of international cricket" between 2025 and 2031.
The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has revealed its international men's and women's schedule for the seven-year period with Edgbaston saying it could add £250 million to the city's economy, with hotels, bars and restaurants all set to benefit.
