The first of three one-day internationals between Australia and England will be played in Canberra on February 3, four days after the eagerly-anticipated women's Ashes Test match to be played at the same venue.

It's part of a fixture shake-up which has brought the Ashes series forward by a week.

Adelaide Oval will now host three Twenty20 internationals in January, before the action moves to Canberra for the four-day Test.

The final two ODIs will be played in Melbourne on February 6 and February 8 before Australia and England players can fly to New Zealand, where they'll need to complete a mandatory 10-day quarantine period before preparing for the World Cup.

"We have needed to make changes to the schedule and we're grateful to all parties for their flexibility in ensuring that both Australia and England can travel to New Zealand with sufficient time to complete their mandatory quarantine period ahead of what will be an exciting World Cup for both teams," Cricket Australia boss Nick Hockley said.

"We are looking forward to a fantastic series between probably the two best teams in the world, with each side being current T20 and ODI world champions respectively.

"Regrettably, logistical considerations have meant that we have had to move two T20 games from North Sydney Oval, which has long been the home of the women's game in Sydney.

"It is also disappointing that the annual Governor-General's XI match scheduled to be played at Drummoyne Oval is unable to proceed this season.

"We thank cricket fans in Sydney for their understanding and have no doubt that the three T20Is at Adelaide Oval will set the tone for a great series."

The capital will also host three 50-over matches between Australia A and England A at Phiilip Oval.

Canberra cricket fans sampled a taste of what was to come ahead of the Ashes later this month, when Australia vice-captain Rachael Haynes on Thursday compiled a superb century on a rain-affected Manuka Oval to help NSW to a dominant win over the Meteors.

Haynes blasted 118 off 132 balls as the Breakers amassed 260 at a rain-affected Manuka.

Australian teammate Stella Campbell then took over, the young quick snaring seven wickets as the Meteors were dismissed for just 53.
