ECB announces 2024 England Women's and England Men's home schedule

  • England Women and England Men to play concurrent white-ball series against Pakistan to open the international summer.
  • 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.
  • England Men host Pakistan Men in four IT20s before flying out to defend their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup title in the United States and Caribbean.
  • England Men to play three-match Test Series against West Indies Men and Sri Lanka Men.
  • England Women host New Zealand Women in a three-match ODI Series and a five-match IT20 Series.
  • England Men to end summer with eight white-ball matches against Australia Men.
  • The England Physical Disability, England Learning Disability, England Visually Impaired and England Deaf teams all in action, with fixtures to be announced in due course.
  • Public ballot for international tickets to open from August 30.

The 2024 home international season will open with England Women and England Men hosting Pakistan in concurrent white-ball series.

Heather Knight’s team will start the international summer 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.

England Men defeated Pakistan Men to win the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup title in Melbourne last November, and fans will be treated to a four-match Men’s 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 LV= Insurance Men’s Ashes Series and Metro Bank Women’s Ashes Series, which have been staged alongside each other and when England Women have attracted record ticket sales.

To build on the growing interest in the women’s game, England Women will play at a selection of high-capacity venues next summer, when they will also host New Zealand in a three-match Women’s ODI Series (June 26 – July 3) and a five-match IT20 Series (July 6-17).

England Women will play at 14 venues in total - from the Seat Unique Riverside in the north east to the 1st Central County Ground on the south coast - before finishing their schedule with the fifth IT20 against New Zealand Women at Lord’s on July 17.

England Men will begin their Test summer following their return from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, when they host both West Indies Men (July 10-30) and Sri Lanka Men (August 21 – September 10). Each series will be three Tests.

The Australia Men’s team will return next summer for three Men’s IT20s (September 11-15) and five Men’s One-Day Internationals (September 19-29).

The England Physical Disability, England Learning Disability, England Visually Impaired and England Deaf teams will also all be in action in 2024, with fixtures to be announced in due course.

Vitality Blast Finals Day will be staged at Edgbaston with the date to be confirmed.

Ticket sales activity is set to commence from August 30 with a Public Ballot for England Men’s and England Women’s international fixtures.

Supporters can ensure they are first to receive information about how to buy and gain priority access to tickets by signing up to We Are England Cricket Supporters at ecb.co.uk.

Richard Gould, ECB Chief Executive Officer, said:“After attracting record ticket sales this summer it is fitting that the England Women’s team will open the international season next year at an iconic venue such as Edgbaston.

“Next summer’s schedule will see England Women play at more venues and allow more people to see their heroes in action as we look to maintain the growth the women’s game deserves.

“Fans across England and Wales will also get to see our England Men’s world champions in action ahead of their T20 World Cup title defence, before three-match Test series against both West Indies and Sri Lanka.

“We can also confirm that our England Visually Impaired, England Physical Disability, England Deaf and England Learning Disability teams will all play next summer and that we are working to confirm those matches.

“We are looking forward to another memorable summer which is set to finish with white-ball series against New Zealand for our England Women’s team and Australia for our England Men’s team.”
