THE international schedule for the 2024/25 summer of cricket has dropped, and there is plenty for fans to get excited about.

The Australian women’s team is hosting New Zealand and India in limited overs series, before welcoming England to contest another Ashes series.

History will be made in that Ashes series because not only will Melbourne host its first women’s test in over 60 years, but it will host the second ever women’s day night Ashes test. Unfortunately though, unlike the test in the last Ashes series, this one will be only four days.

Meanwhile the Australian men’s side is hosting Pakistan in two limited overs series before also welcoming India to a five-test match series, beginning in Perth and ending in Sydney.
