The English team seems to have already embarked on a non-stop cricketing journey across all international formats, at least for until the next 20 months. 

Shortly after hosting Pakistan for a four-match T20I series at home in May and subsequently playing the 2024 T20 World Cup in the West Indies in June, England engaged in a three-match Test rubber at home against the visiting West Indies team.

As per England’s itinerary up until March 2026, they seem to have their task cut out with little breathing space left between any two series.
