**Australia have confirmed the full schedule for England’s 2010/11 Ashes tour, which includes three warm-up games and seven one-day internationals.**The tourists begin with three-day warm-up matches against Western Australia, South Australia and Australia A.
After the Ashes Tests, for which the dates had already been announced, England will face the Aussies in two Twenty20 games and seven one-dayers.
England lost 5-0 in the Tests on their last visit to Australia in 2006/07.
On that occasion, they lost their first one-day warm-up game to a Prime Minister’s XI, before drawing three-day games against New South Wales and South Australia - and received some criticism for the lack of competitive opposition in the lead-up to the first Test.
