England men will take on Pakistan, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Australia in next year’s home schedule, while England women have matches lined up against Pakistan and New Zealand in 2024.
The ECB has revealed a packed home schedule of fixtures for England next year as focus turns from regaining the Ashes this summer, to defending the ICC T20 World Cup next summer.
England men will host Pakistan in four IT20s before flying out to defend their title in the United States and Caribbean, before facing the West Indies in Sri Lanka in two three-Test series, while England women return to high-capacity venues including Edgbaston, Headingley, The Ageas Bowl, The Kia Oval and Lord’s following record ticket sales this summer.
The 2024 home international season will open with England women and men hosting Pakistan in concurrent white-ball series. Heather Knight’s team will get their summer under way at Edgbaston as part of a three-match women’s IT20 series against Pakistan women (May 11-19), before visiting The County Ground, Northampton and Headingley.
The two sides will then contest three one-day internationals (May 23-29). The series takes place at the same time that England men make their final preparations for their ICC men’s T20 World Cup title defence. After England defeated Pakistan to win the 2022 ICC men’s T20 World Cup title in Melbourne last November, fans will be treated to a four-match IT20 Series (May 22-30) between the two teams before Jos Buttler’s team fly out to the Caribbean and United States.
The side-by-side series against Pakistan will follow the success of this summer’s men’s and women’s Ashes series, which have been staged alongside each other and where England women have attracted record ticket sales.
To further build on the growing interest in the women’s game, England are set to play at a selection of high-capacity venues next summer, when they will also host New Zealand in a three-match ODI series (June 26 – July 3) and a five-match IT20 series (July 6-17).
Overall, England women will play at 14 venues in total across the country – from Chester-le-Street and Cardiff to Hove – before their schedule culminates with the fifth IT20 against New Zealand at Lord’s on July 17.
England men will begin their Test summer following their return from the ICC T20 World Cup, when they host both West Indies (July 10-30) and Sri Lanka (August 21 – September 10). Each series will be three Tests.
The Australia men’s team will return next summer for three IT20s (September 11-15) and five one-day internationals (September 19-29).
