Derbyshire's outground at Queen’s Park, Chesterfield, has been announced as the venue for England Under-19s' second one-day international against Australia Under-19s in August.

The match will be played on Friday 14 August and completes the line-up of venues for the five-match series following the one-off Test at the Emirates Durham ICG which begins on August 4.

The series opener will be played at South Northumberland CC in Gosforth on August 11 and, after the Chesterfield clash, Derbyshire will also host the third match three days later at the 3aaa County Ground in Derby - providing two successive chances for their fast bowler Will Davis to feature in international action on home turf.

The series concludes with matches at Grace Road and New Road, the home grounds of Leicestershire and Worcestershire respectively, on August 20 and 22.

Chesterfield Cricket Club chairman Mike Taylor said: “We are looking forward to another great summer of cricket here in Queen’s Park.

Queen's Park in Chesterfield will host the second one-day international between England Under-19s and Australia's Under-19s

“In July, we will host Derbyshire County Cricket Club’s festival of cricket and it’s great that we’ll bring the curtain down with an Ashes battle between the best young players in England and Australia.

“Hosting both these high-profile events is great news for the town and also great news for Chesterfield Cricket Club. Watching some of the best players around always inspires our youngsters at the club and local schools and these big matches provide us with opportunities to raise funds which help us continue to run a very successful league cricket club.

“It’s well documented that Sachin Tendulkar called our ground the most beautiful he’s ever played on. Hopefully we’ll send some English and Australian stars of the future away with a similar view.”

Entry for the Queen's Park match is free of charge, with play beginning at 10.30am.
