Cricket at EdgbastonEvent sandwiched by World and European championshipsThe organisers of Birmingham 2022 believe they have negotiated a schedule that will allow top athletes to compete at the Commonwealth Games, but a date when tickets will be sold to the public is still uncertain.
Despite a summer set for an overload of sporting events, with the Commonwealth Games starting only three days after the World Athletics Championships conclude on 24 July, organisers remain confident that star performers such as Dina Asher-Smith and Katarina Johnson-Thompson will still be able to take part. The European championships follow within a week of events concluding in Birmingham.
