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.

Marc....Recent Pakistan test was full of spectators for all five days including many many kids and women - great to see. I'm sure similar tests in India and Australia would/will be the same. That feels pretty global to me.

It's always been quite clear where the ECB priorities lie. The problem is there doesn't seem to be any objection from the other test playing countries. Until test cricket starts to attract fans globally it's hard to see what can be done. Cricket has always reflected the times, being market driven and those times are currently white ball. Yes, we get decent crowds for tests in this country, but elsewhere it's a different story. The ECB's short term solution is to make test cricket a version of white ball by employing 'bazball' proponents and selecting totally white ball oriented players like Livingstone for them. Obviously the ideal solution is making room for all formats to flourish and not have them competing against each other, but The Hundred is clearly the ECB project that defies this logic. Everything is being done to maximise it's 'success' whatever the cost to other formats, so as to save face for it's new project.
