The England cricket team is scheduled to tour Australia between November 2017 and February 2018 to play five Tests and five One Day Internationals (ODIs). They will also take part in a three nation Twenty20 International (T20I) tournament, along with New Zealand, who will co-host the tournament along with Australia. The Test series will form part of the 2017–18 Ashes series. In May 2017, it was confirmed that the WACA Ground would host the Test and ODI in Perth, as the planned new ground was unable to open in time.
Ben Stokes was named in the initial England squad, but was subsequently ruled out of international selection until further notice, whilst a disciplinary process takes place. It is not clear if this will definitely preclude him from Ashes selection.
