India will tour England next year from July to September for five Tests, three One-Day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals, the England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed on Tuesday.
The limited overs leg will be played first. The T20I series will begin on July 3 followed by the ODIs that start on July 12. The first Test will commence from August 1 in Edgbaston.
“A five-Test series against India is at the heart of next summer’s international programme,” said ECB Chief Executive Officer Tom Harrison said.
“This is always a much-anticipated contest which attracts a huge following across the globe for the five-day game.
India last toured England in 2014. The side, then led by MS Dhoni, had lost the five-match series 3-1.
