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

Before then, the double-world champions return to Wales later this year in their ODI fixture against New Zealand on Friday, 8th September. This will be the first 50-over game between the two sides since the epic World Cup Final at Lords in 2019.
Hugh Morris, Glamorgan CCC Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are beyond excited to host two amazing IT20’s here in Cardiff next summer.
“We have welcomed Pakistan here on multiple occasions, most recently in 2021 for three fantastic games of cricket, and we can’t wait to see them in action again.
“As Ashes fever is gripping the country again, how can you not look forward to that old rivalry being rekindled here at Sophia Gardens? We look forward to hosting England, Australia, and Pakistan next year, as well as New Zealand in September.”
