International cricket returns to Emirates Riverside, as England take on Sri Lanka.
Durham Cricket are delighted to announce that international cricket will return to Emirates Riverside in 2021. Men’s World Champions, England, will face Sri Lanka in the first ODI of the Royal London Series at the Chester-Le-Street ground.
The game, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 29 June 2021, is due to be the first opportunity for fans to see England’s 2019 World Cup winning team on home soil following a year of fixtures played behind closed doors in 2020.

The club is providing a Ticket Refund Promise which will ensure purchasers will receive a full refund should the fixture be cancelled or moved to an alternative date that does not suit the customer due to the uncertainty caused by Covid-19.
