England Cricket on Tuesday announced its schedule for the home season for the year 2024. Making the announcement on social media, ECB released the home fixtures for both Men's and Women's Cricket teams over the next home season. Notably, England Men's T20I series is set to make a clash with the 2024 IPL.

The English Men will be hosting Pakistan, Australia and West Indies in their summer with the Pakistan series being kicked off first. "England Women host Pakistan and New Zealand in 2024, with Pakistan, Australia and West Indies set to face England Men," ECB said in its statement. The English Women will be kickstarting the summer with a three-match series against Pakistan Women from May 11 to 19. They will also play three One-Day Internationals from May 23 to 29.

Notably, the Men's team will host Pakistan from May 22 to May 30 and this means the English players would face a choice to play the latter stages of IPL or to take part in their first home series of the season just before the T20 World Cup 2024 in June. England Men will then travel to USA and Caribbean for the defence of their T20 crown, followed by a Test series against West Indies and Sri Lanka, which will feature three contests each.

England Women will face New Zealand in T20I and ODI contests to cap off the home season. As for Men's, they will host Australia. "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)," ECB wrote further.

Reacting to the schedule 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."

The England Physical Disability, England Learning Disability, England Visually Impaired and England Deaf teams will also be playing at home in 2024. “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," Gould further stated.
