England Women host Pakistan and New Zealand in 2024, with Pakistan, Australia and West Indies set to face England Men.

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 (23-29 May). 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 (26 June – 3 July) and a five-match IT20 Series (6-17 July). 

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 (21 August – 10 September). Each series will be three Tests.

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

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 also due to be confirmed.

Ticket sales activity is set to commence from 30 August 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 the matches.

“With white-ball series against New Zealand for our England Women’s team and Australia for our England Men’s team to round out the international season, we are looking forward to another memorable summer.”
