England face stacked schedule as Future Tours Programme confirmed for 2023-2027

England's packed schedule includes a one-off Test against Ireland ahead of next summer's home Ashes series - which will run between mid-June and the end of July

The Future Tours Programme for 2023 to 2027 has been confirmed.

England's packed schedule includes a one-off Test against Ireland ahead of next summer's home Ashes series - which will run between mid-June and the end of July, a five-match series in India in early 2024, and visits from West Indies and Sri Lanka in the Test arena in the home summer of 2024.

The whole of August is kept free from England fixtures to accommodate The Hundred in each of 2023 and 2024, though there are games against Ireland and Pakistan which creep into the schedule in 2025 and 2026 respectively.

The next Ashes campaign down under will take place in 2025-26, while the red-ball side's 2026-27 winter will be spent in South Africa and Bangladesh.

The white-ball setup continues its global jetset. In 2023, that includes home series against New Zealand and Ireland in September, prior to three ODIs and five T20Is in the Caribbean in December 2023. 

Five T20s against Pakistan kick off the 2024 summer, while Australia visit in September for five ODIs and three T20s.

Ireland, West Indies and South Africa make up the limited-overs opponents in the summer of 2025, and there is a white-ball trip to New Zealand before the Ashes series. 

An ODI tri series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka is scheduled for October 2026.

England's FTP announced

England play arch-rivals Australia and India in two five-Test series each in the Men’s Future Tours Programme (FTP) for the period 2023-27 that was confirmed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) today.

The announcement of the FTP, a result of a collective effort of Full Members with ICC’s support, ensures certainty of cricket fixtures with the confirmation of all bilateral series across the three formats. The exact dates and venues of the series are for the Members to announce in due course.

England’s first outing in the upcoming FTP will be a home Test against Ireland in June next year, which will be followed by their first-five Test series of the cycle against Australia from June to August 2023. Their five-Test commitments are against India in an away series in January-February 2024 and at home in June-July 2025. They tour Australia for the next Ashes showdown starting November 2025 for five Tests.

England also tour Pakistan for three Tests in October-November 2024, followed by a three-Test tour of New Zealand. All these series will be part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC), two cycles of which will figure during the FTP – 2023-25 and 2025-27.

England feature in limited overs series against Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and the West Indies apart from Test series both part of and outside of the WTC.

WTC Series: England play Australia, Sri Lanka and the West Indies at home in the 2023-25 WTC and are scheduled to play India, New Zealand and Pakistan in away series. In the 2025-27 WTC, England play India, New Zealand and Pakistan at home while Australia, Bangladesh and South Africa will host them.

The announcement of the Men’s FTP comes a day after the first ever Women’s FTP was announced.

ICC GM of Cricket Wasim Khan said: “I’d like to thank our Members for the effort that has gone into creating this FTP for the next four years. We are incredibly lucky to have three vibrant formats of the game, with an outstanding programme of ICC global events and strong bilateral and domestic cricket and this FTP is designed to allow all cricket to flourish.

“The landscape around the game is continuing to evolve and we will work closely with Members as we collectively adapt to that. We are committed to growing the game and giving more fans more opportunities to enjoy cricket, but are very mindful of the need to balance that ambition with the welfare of players.”

ECB Interim CEO Claire Connor said she was thrilled that both FTPs had now been announced.

Clare Connor, ECB Interim CEO, said: “These Future Tour Programmes set out the international cricket we’ll be playing over the coming years. There is so much for supporters to look forward to across Test and white ball cricket, home and away.

“With the increased number of domestic white ball competitions and the introduction of an annual global tournament in men’s cricket, creating an international schedule has never been harder. We must continue to work together as international Boards to manage these challenges, look after our players’ welfare, and ensure a sustainable future for international cricket which we and so many players and supporters love and cherish.

“I’m particularly thrilled that for the first time we have been able to build a Future Tours Programme for women’s cricket, bolstered by a white ball global event each year. This is testament to the rapid growth and professionalisation of the women’s game and we must all keep giving it greater priority to inspire girls and women in this country and around the world to genuinely feel that cricket is a game for them.”

The independent voice of cricket

What will England’s international schedule look like between 2023-27?

The 2023-27 Future Tours Programme is “near-final”, as has been reported by numerous outlets . Here’s what it could mean for England.

The schedule runs from May 2023 to February 2027 and features more time than ever blocked out for domestic leagues, with the IPL commanding a two-and-a-half month window where very little international cricket will be played.

The schedule includes the proposed World Test Championship fixtures, the return of tri-series ODI cricket and a rise in five-match T20I series. We take a look at five features of England’s proposed schedule.

42 Test matches

England will play the most Test matches of any nation in the next four-year cycle, playing 42 compared to Australia’s 41 and India’s 38.

Forty-two is seven matches down from the previous cycle in which England played 49, including 16 scheduled for 2021.

Aside from England’s fixtures against India and Australia (more below) England will play six series of three matches in length, at home to West Indies (2024), New Zealand (2026) and Pakistan (2026), and away to Pakistan (2024), New Zealand (2024) and South Africa (2026-27).

England’s 2023-25 WTC Fixtures: Australia (H), West Indies (H), Sri Lanka (H), New Zealand (A), India (A), Pakistan (A)

England’s 2025-27 WTC Fixtures: New Zealand (H), India (H), Pakistan (H), Australia (A), South Africa (A), Bangladesh (A)

More matches against Australia and India

Of the 42 Tests England will play, 20 will be against either Australia or India , with five-match home and away series scheduled for both nations.

England will host Australia in 2023, with the return Ashes series played in 2025/26.

Meanwhile, England will travel to India in early 2024 for a five-match series before India return in 2025.

No return to West Indies until at least 2027

On paper, England’s tour of the Caribbean earlier this year means that not returning for five years seems far from surprising. However, given that England’s tours of the Caribbean are a significant revenue source for Cricket West Indies and the debt of gratitude the ECB owe CWI for sending both men’s and women’s teams to the UK in the Covid-19 summer of 2020 the lack of a tour is seen as a surprise by many.

As reported by Ali Martin in the Guardian : “West Indies sent men’s and women’s teams to the UK during the height of the pandemic in 2020, helping to prevent the ECB from suffering catastrophic losses. Though this led to an expansion of England’s return visit earlier this year – a two-Test series became three and three T20s became five – these favours were not exactly equal.”

A three-week window for the Hundred

The emphasis placed on The Hundred by the ECB has been made increasingly clear with a three-week international window added to the height of summer where no England internationals will be played in a move mirrored by Cricket Australia with the Big Bash.

Unlike the IPL window in which no international cricket will be played, the English and Australian windows will only be absent of home international cricket as both boards aim to get their star players involved in their flagship competitions.

The window also impacts England’s Test schedule, with the five-day summer ending in July next year.

More five-match T20I series and return of ODI tri-series

Fifteen five-match T20I series have been scheduled for 2023-27, with nine set to involve India, while some are still to be confirmed.

The ODI tri-series, a format that Jos Buttler and Rohit Sharma lent their support to following the recent England-India bilateral series, are also set for a return with Pakistan hosting New Zealand and South Africa in early 2025 before Zimbabwe host the same two nations later in the same year.

Neither are currently scheduled to impact England, however it is an example of the type of schedule changes that are set to occur over the coming years.

India's FTP Announced

• 17th Aug, 2022

India's FTP Announced

India will play two five-Test series each against Australia and England during the International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s Future Tours Programme (FTP) for the period 2023-27 that was confirmed today.

The announcement of the FTP, a result of a collective effort of Full Members with ICC’s support, ensures certainty of cricket fixtures with the confirmation of all bilateral series across the three formats. The exact dates of the series are for the Members to announce in due course.

India kick off their engagements for the next cycle with a tour of the West Indies in July next year, when they play two Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is. After hosting Australia for limited overs series, India will embark on their next full tour in December 2023 to South Africa.

India, who finished runners-up to New Zealand in the first ICC World Test Championship that ran from 2019-21, play the first of their four five-Test series against England at home starting January 2024. They play Australia in an away series from November that year to January 2025, England in a series starting June 2025 and again versus Australia at home in January-February 2027.

Afghanistan, who debuted in Tests in Bengaluru in June 2018, will be hosted again by India in the coming FTP cycle as they are pencilled to play one Test and three ODIs in mid-2026.

India are also committed to playing other limited overs series against Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and the West Indies over the next four years apart from matches that are part of the two WTC cycles falling in this period.

WTC series: India’s WTC fixtures for the 2023-25 series comprise home series against Bangladesh, England and New Zealand and away series in Australia, South Africa and the West Indies. In the 2025-27 WTC, they are scheduled to play Australia, South Africa and the West Indies at home, while their away series will be in England, New Zealand and Sri Lanka.

Mr. Jay Shah, Honorary Secretary, BCCI, said : “I want to take this opportunity to congratulate all my colleagues at the CEC for the historic Women’s FTP – the first of its kind and the continued spirit of partnership to conclude the Men’s FTP which provides certainty to all the members to develop their cricketing eco-systems as well as commercial programmes around their own calendars.”

England Tour of Pakistan 2024

3 Test Matches

October 2024

Pakistan vs England 2024

Go back to where it all began for Not Out Travel! The whole of Pakistan are over the moon to have international cricket back in their stadiums, and the hospitality on offer backs this up. With their side slowly showing their potential to the world, it promises to be a brilliant series.

Register below and don’t miss out on the England cricket tour of Pakistan 2024.

Previous Tours of Pakistan

In anticipation, why not read about our last trip to Pakistan in 2022, with record-breaking cricket, truly outstanding hospitality and a unfogettable trip to the Hunza Valley!

Time Until Tour

Why book with Not Out Travel for the tour of Pakistan in  2024?

Hear from our Tour Manager Nick Joyce

I have engaged in conversations with numerous cricket enthusiasts over the past couple of domestic seasons regarding overseas cricket travel. When Pakistan was brought up as a potential touring destination, 75% of them expressed clear reservations. I can completely comprehend their concerns, but it took me no more than 24 hours from my initial arrival to realize that this is an exceptional place to tour. Allow me to elucidate why.

Having traveled annually since 1975 to various locations around the world, either as a rugby player or cricket supporter, I can confidently assert that I possess extensive experience and sound judgment when it comes to sporting venues. The warmth, camaraderie, and hospitality displayed by the Pakistani people towards visitors to their country are extraordinary. Accustomed to fewer foreign travelers, they express genuine curiosity about your origin, purpose of visit, and often request a selfie.

The international-class hotels utilized by Not Out Travel are excellent, and the food at these hotels, as well as at the local restaurants, is both delightful and reasonably priced. The sightseeing opportunities are truly world-class. Experiences like witnessing the Indian Border Flag lowering ceremony, exploring the Julian Monastery at Taxila, visiting the Jinnah Mausoleum, and marveling at the incredible Hunza Valley are not to be missed. Accompanying our parties are wonderfully knowledgeable and enthusiastic local tour guides, significantly enhancing the overall tour experience.

Of course, the cricket experience is paramount. The stadiums are of high quality, easily accessible, and offer fantastic views of the matches. I cannot deny that the three victories played a crucial role in making Not Out Travels’ inaugural tour a resounding success. I have often maintained that there is no such thing as a bad tour; some are simply better than others. In the case of Pakistan, with 50 years of serious touring experience, it unquestionably ranks among my top ten.

This country warrants a personal visit. I urge you to set aside any preconceived notions, come to witness exceptional cricket, explore amazing sights, and forge new friendships. Rest assured that Not Out Travel has already dispatched an experienced Tour Manager on a pre-visit inspection to evaluate major hotels and sites, and to personally meet the local representatives who will take care of us.

And when significant events unfold, you can proudly say, “I was there.”

Enjoyed every minute and great value for money. Overall, a fantastic trip by Not Out Travel – we will be back.

We had a fantastic time on our first tour following England abroad, Charlie was excellent to deal with, always helpful and responsive. The flexibility of our bespoke package was a real big selling point for us. I look forward to bringing Not Out Travel more business.

Simply the Best! Pre-departure booking and arrangements worked very well. A very enjoyable and well organised tour. Well organised, flexible, friendly and relaxed – as ever nice to be with a good group of similar minded cricket lovers!

The Mitchells

Our small group had an unforgettable experience, first in the incredible Hunza Valley and then at one of the all time great Test matches. The Not Out Travel service is flexible and customisable – not a hint of the dreaded ‘one size fits all’ approach of some of the larger tour firms.

This was the best cricket tour I have been on. It was the little things that made it special, and the appreciation that everyone was slightly different but accommodating their needs was brilliant. I would happily use Not Out Travel again in the future as they were a pleasure to travel with!

The Not Out Travel tour to Pakistan was the very best value for money and all worked faultlessly with the best tour leaders. I wont look anywhere else for my future tours, as it was a great personally configured tour with many options that worked for me.
