In this article, we’ll take a look at England’s WTC 2023-2025 schedule.

Before we take a look at the schedule, let’s take a look at England’s performance in the previous WTC cycle.

England’s Performance in WTC 2021-23

England played a total of 22 Test matches in the championship — the most by any team. Of the 22 matches, they registered 10 wins, 8 losses, and 4 draws.

Out of the six Test series, England played against India, New Zealand, and South Africa at home. They won the series against New Zealand by 3-0 (3) and South Africa by 2-1 (3). And England somehow managed to draw the series against India by 2-2 (5).

While in the away series, England lost to Australia by 0-4 (5) in the Ashes. And surprisingly, they also lost the series against the West Indies by 1-0 (3). England could only manage to win one away series against Pakistan by 3-0 (3).

These defeats on away tours cost them a lot, as they finished in fourth place in the WTC points table.
