England Women will return to Chelmsford for the 2024 international schedule

Published on Tuesday 4 July 2023

The Cloud County Ground welcomes England Women again in 2024 to host Pakistan Women on the 29th. of the third one-day international series to be held in May.

Derbys Incora County Ground and Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton skip Chelmsford when they host the Heather Knights in that series, which itself follows three IT20s against the same opposition.

Hosted at The Cloud County Ground, the ODI comes hot on the heels of a successful Ashes summer this year, which saw England Women collect record tickets.

A month after thrashing Pakistan in Chelmsford, the Knights’ charges take on New Zealand in three ODIs before completing their schedule with five IT20s against the Silver Ferns, ending on July 17.

Meanwhile, England Mens will begin their summer by playing Pakistan in four IT20 series from May 22 as part of their final preparations for the defense of the ICC Mens T20 World Cup title.

After returning from a tournament hosted in the United States of America and across the Caribbean, England Men begin their Test summer by hosting the West Indies Men in a three-match series.

These tests are conducted between the 10th and the 30th. July, before Ben Stokes takes on Sri Lanka Men in the second three-match series from 21 Aug-10. September

England’s men are then back on the white ball to end the summer when they welcome back Australia’s men for three IT20s and five ODIs, with the final match of the latter series scheduled for September 29.

England Physical Disability, England Learning Disability, England Visually Impaired and England Deaf teams will also all be operational in 2024, with fixtures to be announced in due course.

Vitality Blast Finals Day will take place in Edgbaston and the date will also be confirmed.

Ticket sales begin on 30 August with the public vote for England Men’s and England Women’s international matches.

Essex Cricket Chief Executive John Stephenson said: I am delighted that The Cloud County Ground will be welcoming England Women back in 2024 at a time when interest in the women’s game has never been greater.

Tickets are still on sale for September’s IT20 against Sri Lanka Women, so Essex and the wider area now have several opportunities to witness international cricket in Chelmsford.

We always look forward to these occasions and the continued selection of The Cloud County Ground as the venue for women’s international cricket is testament to our approach to creating a memorable fan experience.

Richard Gould, Chief Executive of the ECB, said: After achieving record ticket sales this summer, it is fitting that England Womens will open the international season next year at an iconic venue such as Edgbaston.

Next summer’s schedule will see England Women playing in more venues and allowing more people to see their heroes in action as we aim to maintain the growth the women’s game deserves.

Fans across England and Wales will also get to see our England Men’s World Champions in action ahead of their T20 World Cup defense ahead of a three-match Test series against both the West Indies and Sri Lanka.

We can also confirm that our England Visually Impaired, England Physically Disabled, England Deaf and England Learning Disability teams will all be playing next summer and that we are working to confirm these fixtures.

We look forward to another memorable summer, culminating in white-ball series for England Women against New Zealand and England Men against Australia.
