The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced England’s 2027 home international schedule. The men’s team will host Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand across various formats. The women’s team will conclude the summer with a white-ball series against Bangladesh.
England Men will kick off their home campaign with a five-match ODI series against Pakistan on May 15 at the Utilita Bowl. Subsequently, matches will be held at Old Trafford, Headingley, Durham, and Sophia Gardens before transitioning to red-ball cricket.
Bangladesh is scheduled to play a one-off Test at Lord’s starting on May 28, marking their first Test meeting in England since 2010. New Zealand will tour England in September for a white-ball series, including three T20Is and five ODIs at various venues.
England Women will also compete against Bangladesh in September, featuring a three-match T20I series and a three-match ODI series. The T20Is will be held at Northampton, Taunton, and Worcester, while the ODIs are set for Hove, Canterbury, and Chelmsford.
ECB’s CEO, Richard Gould, emphasized the significance of hosting Bangladesh’s men’s and women’s teams and highlighted the importance of New Zealand’s tour in England’s World Cup preparations. The schedule aims to provide a mix of 50-over and T20 cricket for the men’s team and opportunities for the women’s team to build momentum in white-ball cricket.
