England and Wales Cricket Board announce the international schedule for its 2015 home season. England will be hoping that history repeats itself when their bid to regain the Ashes next year starts in Cardiff. The Welsh capital ground will stage the first Test against Australia, starting on July 8.England were whitewashed 5-0 by their oldest foes Australia during the 2013/14 Ashes, a reverse which led Andy Flower to stand down as team coach and be replaced by Peter Moores. The remainder of the 2015 Ashes will see Tests played at Lord's, Edgbaston, Trent Bridge and The Oval. Last year, England triumphed 3-0 on home soil before shortly afterwards surrendering the Ashes in tame fashion in the return series.
