Bristol to host England vs Pakistan One-Day International at The Brightside Ground in May 2019
Posted on: 25 Jul 2018Bristol's Brightside Ground is quickly becoming a firm favourite among English cricket fans, and rightly so - we think it's right up there with the best in the country! After recently selling out the England vs India IT20 fixture in under two weeks, organisers expect tickets for this one, scheduled for Tuesday 14th May, to sell out just as quickly. Tickets for the fixture go on sale on Wednesday 10th October - save the date!.PNG "The sun shines over the Brightside Ground during a Summer 2017 fixture.")
Pakistan will be England's first opponents of the international season when the two sides meet in May, with the match due to be followed by five Royal London One-Day Internationals and a Vitality T20 Tournament in preparation for the ICC Cricket World Cup. England's 2019 World Cup campaign commences on 30th May with a match against South Africa.
Speaking on the opening match against Pakistan in Bristol, Gloucestershire Cricket Cheif Executive Will Brown said "we're looking forward to hosting a full calendar of international cricket in 2019 and it's great to be able to kick the programme off with England vs. Pakistan in May".
"The announcement today comes only two weeks after we hosted a very successful England vs. India IT20 match", he continued, "and we're confident that we'll put on another great show for fans when England and Pakistan come to Bristol next year".
Tickets for England vs. Pakistan at The Brightside Ground on Tuesday 14th May 2019 go on sale on Wednesday 10th October, with priority access granted to Gloucestershire Cricket members and previous international ticket buyers.
