England will play 18 cricket matches in the 2024 summer, with four different teams scheduled to visit the United Kingdom next year. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced the schedule for next year's summer today (July 4).

The first team to visit England will be Pakistan. Since it will be a T20 World Cup year, the Men in Green will prepare for the mega event with four matches against the defending champions from May 22 to 30.

There will be no matches in June because of the T20 World Cup. After the mega event, West Indies will reach England for a three-match ICC World Test Championship series from July 10 to 30.

England will play another ICC World Test Championship series at home next year. Sri Lanka will visit the United Kingdom for three Tests against Ben Stokes' men from August 21 to September 10.

Australia, who are currently on a tour of England, will return to the UK next year again for white-ball matches. The Aussies will play a three-match ODI series and a five-match T20I series against England in September.
