The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced fixtures of international cricket for the summer of 2025.

The season will see both the men's and women's teams of England facing off against formidable opponents from India, Zimbabwe, West Indies, and South Africa.

The summer will kick off with a historic one-off Test between England and Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, from 22nd to 25th May. This will mark Zimbabwe's return to Test cricket on English soil after several years.

Following this, the West Indies will engage in a white-ball series against England. The three-match ODI series is set to begin on 29th May and will conclude on 3rd June, followed by a three-match T20I series from 6th to 10th June, showcasing some of the best short-format cricket across three different venues.

The highlight of the season will undoubtedly be the five-match Test series between England and India. The first Test will be played at Headingley, Leeds, from 20th to 24th June, with subsequent matches at Edgbaston (2nd July), Lord's (10th July), Emirates Old Trafford (23rd July), and The Kia Oval (31st July). This series promises to be a clash of titans as two of the world's strongest cricketing nations go head-to-head.

England will then shift focus to a home series against South Africa, starting with a three-match ODI series from 10th to 14th September, followed by a T20I series from 17th to 21st September. England will wrap up their summer campaign before embarking on a white-ball tour of South Africa.

England Women will also have a busy summer, beginning with a three-match T20I series against West Indies Women from 21st to 26th May, followed by a three-match ODI series from 30th May to 7th June.

India Women will tour England next, starting with a five-match T20I series running from 28th June to 12th July. This will be followed by a three-match ODI series from 16th to 22nd July, adding further excitement to an already packed summer schedule.
