England cricket series engagements

Overview

The snapshots detail separate cricket series involving the England national team during September 2026.

In the Test series against Pakistan, England holds a 2-0 lead heading into the final match at Edgbaston. Pakistan has implemented seven squad changes to address batting and bowling struggles in an attempt to avoid a series sweep.

In the T20I series against Sri Lanka, England achieved a 3-0 whitewash. The decisive third match at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester resulted in an eight-wicket victory for England after Sri Lanka was bowled out for 124. Sonny Baker, Jofra Archer, and Will Jacks each took two wickets, while Jos Buttler scored an unbeaten 62 to lead the chase. Harry Brook, who scored 33 in the final match, was named player of the series after accumulating 170 runs across the three matches.

Following this series sweep, which marks England’s 15th consecutive T20 win over Sri Lanka, England has reclaimed the top spot in the ICC men’s T20I world rankings, moving ahead of India. England currently holds a record of 23 wins in their last 26 T20I matches.
