The Pakistan cricket team toured England in May 2024 to play four Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2] The series formed part of both teams' preparation ahead of the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[3] In July 2023, the England Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed the fixtures.[4]

The first match was abandoned because of heavy rain in Leeds.[5] England won the second match in Birmingham by 23 runs and that game saw Jofra Archer play his first international fixture in over a year due to injuries.[6] The third match, in Cardiff, was another washout.[7] England won the fourth match in London by 7 wickets and won the series 2–0.[8]
