England's men's and women's sides will play a concurrent white-ball series against Pakistan to open the international summer in 2024.

Heather Knight's women's side will play a three-match T20 series starting at Edgbaston on 11 May.

The men host four T20s the same month before Jos Buttler's team defend their T20 World Cup title in the United States and Caribbean.

England men also host West Indies and Sri Lanka in two three-Test series.

The first Test against West Indies starts at Lord's on 10 July, before matches at Trent Bridge and Edgbaston later in the month.

Ben Stokes' team then start the Test series against Sri Lanka on 21 August at Emirates Old Trafford, followed by Tests at Lord's and the Kia Oval.

The women host New Zealand in a three-match one-day international series before five T20s, and the men conclude the summer with eight white-ball matches against Australia, consisting of three T20s and five ODIs.

There are no women's Tests scheduled.

"After attracting record ticket sales this summer it is fitting that the England Women's team will open the international season next year at an iconic venue such as Edgbaston," said ECB chief executive officer Richard Gould.

"Next summer's schedule will see England Women play at more venues and allow more people to see their heroes in action as we look to maintain the growth the women's game deserves."

The England Physical Disability, Learning Disability, Visually Impaired and Deaf teams will also all be in action in 2024, with fixtures yet to be announced.

Meanwhile, Vitality Blast Finals Day will be staged at Edgbaston on a date to be confirmed.
