England will start their home international summer with a two-Test series against New Zealand beginning June 2, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced on Monday.
The two Tests will be played at Lord’s (June 2-6) and Edgbaston (June 10-14).
Then England will face Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series at Sophia Gardens (June 23 and 24) and The Ageas Bowl (June 26). These matches will be followed by a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka between June 29 and July 4.
After the Sri Lanka series, England will take on Pakistan in three ODIs and as many T20Is from July 8 to 20.
“The prospect of our England men’s team taking on the world’s two top-ranked Test nations in New Zealand and India this summer is something for us all to savor,” ECB CEO Tom Harrison said in a statement.
Currently, the Joe Root-led England are in Sri Lanka participating in a two-match Test series. After that, they will be traveling to India to compete in the four-match Test series, followed by five T20Is and three ODIs.
India will also be touring England for a five-match Test series, currently scheduled to begin from August 4 in Nottingham.
