England going to Japan 4 years late

We were due to do a tour of Japan in 2020, but... something got in the way, I don't recall what. Probably wasn't that big of a thing. Anyway, apparently we are now signed up to go there for a 1-off Test on 22nd June 2024, which is a wild ride because the Prem final is going to be 8th June due to the RWC.

Anyone know if we're due to be playing any of the 3N that summer as well? I wouldn't hate us playing a game or two in the PIs and just taking a development squad to try and rebuild after the RWC.

Calling it an under 25 tour and getting a young and hungry squad exposure is way to radical thinking for the RFU.

Rodd, Dolly, Heyes
Chessum, Martin,
Hil, CCS, Pearson
JVP, Smith
Kelly, Lawrence
Murley, Steward, Freeman

Something like that, would be an interesting watch.
