England versus India: The Men in Blue will play a five-match Test series from June to August of next year to begin their new World Test Championship 2025–27 cycle. On Thursday, the ECB announced England’s next home summer calendar, which included the scheduling for this Test series.
On June 20, Leeds, Headingley, will host the first Test match between India and England. Within the same month, the 2023–25 World T20 Championship final in London would take place a few days after the first Test match. For this five-match Test series, the other venues are the Oval, Edgbaston, Lord’s, and Old Trafford.
India will be playing a bilateral Test series in England for the first time since 2021–2022, when they last visited. India was leading the series 2-1 thanks to Virat Kohli’s captaincy, but after the final game was postponed and played in 2022, the Men in Blue lost under Jasprit Bumrah’s direction, allowing England to tie the series.
In addition, the Indian women’s team will play three ODI matches and a five-match T201 series in England.
