England reveal blockbuster schedule for 2025 summer

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced next year's schedule for their Men’s and Women’s teams. England’s home season traditionally runs from April to September and the coming year promises scintillating battles in the red and white-ball formats.

Richard Gould, the ECB Chief Executive Officer, was excited at the prospect of England Men’s and Women’s schedule running simultaneously with identical opponents.

“Staging England Men’s and England Women’s series alongside each other has been popular with fans and supported the continued growth of the women’s game, with both the Ashes last year and the Pakistan series earlier this year proving successful.

“I’m excited we’ll be doing the same again for the West Indies and India series next year."

Gould also announced that England Women will face-off against India in the first-ever Women’s Test at Lord’s in 2026.

“I’m also delighted we can confirm that India Women will return in 2026 to take on England Women in the first-ever women’s Test match at Lord’s. It will be a truly special occasion, and one of real significance.”
