ECB Chief Executive Officer Richard Gould said: \u201cWe\u2019re really excited to unveil what promises to be a spectacular summer of international cricket in 2026. With world class opposition visiting iconic venues across the country, fans will have the chance to witness the very best of the men\u2019s and women\u2019s game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe highlight of the summer will undoubtedly be the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup, hosted here in England for the first time since 2009. It\u2019s a huge moment for the women\u2019s game, for Nat Sciver-Brunt and her team, and it\u2019s a fantastic opportunity to inspire the next generation of players and fans. And just after that, we’re thrilled that Lord’s will also host an England Women’s Test match for the first time, marking a really special period of time for the\u202fwomen\u2019s\u202fgame.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure fans will be excited to watch Ben Stokes\u2019 and Harry Brook\u2019s England teams, the Men’s red-ball and white-ball teams both offering so much in the way of entertainment. It’s terrific to see so many different nations coming over to compete and we can expect another summer of big crowds and fantastic cricket.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
