Tickets are now on sale for a much-loved sporting radio show heading for Bath in the build-up to the Ashes series.

Following their sell-out debut tour earlier this year, Jonathan Agnew (Aggers), Glenn Mcgrath and the Test Match Special team are hitting the road again with an all-new live show that celebrates cricket’s fiercest rivalry.

Next summer sees the 73rd Ashes series as England face old foe Australia. Ahead of the series Test Match Special Live 2023 will visit 17 venues across England and Wales including what promises to be an unmissable night at Bath Forum on Wednesday, May 3.

Aggers said: “We had such a fantastic time on our debut tour that the TMS team has decided to do it all again – and this time with an

Ashes twist!

“I am delighted to be taking to the road with a true cricketing great. Glenn and I are really looking forward to reliving those legendary series of the past as well as looking ahead to what should be another intriguing series. “The shows will be the perfect appetiser ahead of a fascinatin­g Ashes summer.”

By the time Glenn retired after the 2006/07 Ashes series, his reputation as one of the greatest seam bowlers of all time was assured. In all, he took 563 wickets and spent much of the 1990s and 2000s tormenting England’s batsmen. Now a no-holdsbarre­d broadcaste­r, Glenn’s insightful views are as spot-on as any of his fiendish deliveries! Glenn said: “The Ashes is an incredible sporting institutio­n and one which I had the honour to play in many times over the course of my career.

“Next summer is shaping up to be another intriguing series and I am really looking forward to touring the UK with Aggers to talk all things Ashes, share some of my experience­s and look ahead to the summer’s Test action.”

Since its inception in 1957, TMS has followed thousands of matches through iconic voices that include John Arlott, Brian Johnston, Jonathan Agnew and Sir Geoffrey Boycott.

TMS’S debut live theatre tour in early 2022 was a huge success, selling out venue after venue across the country. and delighting the BBC Radio sho

Guests on the previous tour included the likes of Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes, Steven Finn, Ebony Rainford-brent and TMS super-fan Stephen Fry.
