England and Pakistan, who drew 2-2 in the four-test series last year, face off in tests at Lord's and Headingley.

Next up for England is a trip to Edinburgh for an ODI on June 10 where Eoin Morgan's men face Scotland.

Arch-rivals Australia visit England for five ODIs and a solitary Twenty20 between June 13 and 27 before the India series begins with three T20s and three ODIs in July.

The attention then shifts to the five-match test series against Virat Kohli's men with the first test beginning at Edgbaston on Aug. 1.

England's 2018 home schedule:

Pakistan: Two tests at Lord's and Headingley

Australia: Five ODIs at The Oval, Cardiff, Trent Bridge, Chester-le-street and Old Trafford; one T20 at Edgbaston.

India: Three T20s at Old Trafford, Cardiff and Bristol; three ODIs at Trent Bridge, Lord’s and Headingley; five tests at Edgbaston, Lord’s, Trent Bridge, The Rose Bowl and The Oval.
